  In this paper, a modified multi band spectral subtraction is proposed for speech denoising. In this method by estimating the non-stationary noise statistics an estimate of the SNR for the speech signal is obtained which is used in the adaptive averaging of the speech signal frames. In addition, by employing such estimate an over-subtraction factor can be obtained which substantially reduces the musical noise. The adjustment of the final algorithm parameters is accomplished based on the obtained SNR, such that the final algorithm has a minimum musical noise and distortion in the speech signal. The obtained results from the Itakura-Saito, global SNR and segmental SNR show that the proposed algorithm has an output signal with a superior quality compared to the multi-band spectral subtraction algorithm and its modified version.
