The system provides a technique for suppressing or eliminating tonal noise i n an input signal. The system operates on the input signal at a plurality of frequency bins and uses information generated at a prior bin to assist in calculating value s at subsequent bins. The system first identifies peaks in a signal and then determines if t he peaks are from tonal effects. This can be done by comparin...
