Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a sound system and method for processing acoustical sound. The sound system comprises a microphone for converting an acoustical sound to an electrical sound signal, a processor for processing the sound signal and for generating a processed sound signal, and a speaker for converting the processed sound signal to a processed acoustical sound. The processor comprises a calculating unit for calculating a threshold value based on mean magnitude and standard deviation of the sound signal, a FFT unit for transforming the sound signal into frequency domain, a peak identification unit for identifying a peak in the sound signal in frequency domain and for generating a peak signal, a comparator for comparing the threshold value with the peak signal and for generating a control signal identifying frequency of said peak, and a programmable notch-filter unit receiving said control signal and filtering out a bandwidth of the sound signal in accordance with the control signal thereby generating the processed sound signal.
