Abstract
It is hard to listen to an announcement in a noisy environments such as in a train while running. In this paper, to improve speech intelligibility in a noisy environment, we focused on the time variation of speech spectral representing spectral flux from the analysis result which clear speech has larger spectral flux than normal speech. Therefore, we propose speech enhancement method of spectral variation to improve the sound quality evaluation value of STOI. In the evaluation results of STOI score, enhanced speech by proposed method improved more than original speech in all the SNR conditions (SNR = -5, -10, -15 dB). Also, the significant difference in the dangerous rate of 5% was found in SNR = -10, -15 dB.
