Abstract: The present technology relates to a sound processing device, a sound processing method, and a program, which can collect a desired sound. A sound processing device includes: a sound collection unit configured to collect a sound; an application unit configured to apply a predetermined filter to a signal of the sound collected by the sound collection unit; a selection unit configured to select a filter coefficient of the filter applied by the application unit; and a correction unit configured to correct the signal from the application unit. The selection unit selects the filter coefficient on the basis of the signal of the sound collected by the sound collection unit. The selection unit creates, on the basis of the signal of the sound collected by the sound collection unit, a histogram which associates a direction where the sound occurs and a strength of the sound and selects the filter coefficient on the basis of the histogram. The present technology can be applied to a sound processing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a noise reduction device, a noise reduction method, and a program capable of reducing noise in a more stable and effective manner. Signal processing is performed to generate a reference signal representing a waveform of noise on the basis of an estimation value indicating estimation of an acoustic characteristic in a route from each of a predetermined number of speakers to a microphone. Moreover, signal processing is performed for an error signal representing a waveform of an error measured by the microphone in accordance with an amplitude-frequency characteristic obtained from the corresponding one of the acoustic characteristics. Then, a filter coefficient with which the error signal becomes zero is calculated under adaptive algorithm with reference to the reference signal. The reference signal is filtered by using the filter coefficient to obtain a control signal. The control signal is supplied to the corresponding one of the predetermined number of output units. The present technology is applicable to a noise cancelling system equipped in a closed space such as an interior of a vehicle, for example.
