Abstract

In this contribution, we present the characteristics of sound generated by wind and a signal model for the synthesis of wind noise signals is derived. An analysis of the statistics of wind noise recorded in a laboratory setup is carried out with respect to the spectral and temporal properties of the signals. In particular, an autoregresive model is developed for the spectral shape description and the temporal statistics are modeled by a Markov chain. These two components are combined in a model which synthesize reproducible artificial wind noise signals. Furthermore, a database of measured wind noise signals is provided. The aim of this model and the measured audio data is to provide wind signals for the evaluation of speech enhancement and noise reduction systems.

Matlab code for the model and the wind noise database can be found at
