Wind Noise Database

This database provides exemplary wind noise signals for the development and evaluation of noise reduction algorithms. Two measurement settings were considered here: an indoor setup where the air flow was generated artificially and an outdoor scenario with real wind noise. All measurements were carried out with a mock-phone containing high quality microphones.

This .zip file contains recordings of wind noise with the following structure:

Signals recorded in a laboratory setup in a low reverberant environment (RT≈100ms) with no other background noise for analysis and evaluation purpose of the single and dual microphone characteristics. The following setups were considered:

./audio_booth/constant_wind/mic_dist_2cm/
- constant air stream
- microphone distance 2cm

./audio_booth/constant_wind/mic_dist_10cm/
- constant air stream
- microphone distance 10cm

./audio_booth/varying_wind/mic_dist_2cm/
- varying air stream over time
- microphone distance 2cm 

./audio_booth/varying_wind/mic_dist_10cm/
- varying air stream over time
- microphone distance 10cm

Signals recorded outdoors for test and evaluation purpose. These signals also contains other background noises as they where recorded in a realistic scenario. Two single microphone signals are provided with normal and strong wind speed conditions during the recordings.

All signals are stored as wav files with 16kHz sampling rate.
