An audio signal decorrelator (100) for deriving an output audio signal (170) from an input audio signal (112) comprises a frequency analyzer (110) for extracting a first partial signal (120) and a second partial signal (122) from the input audio signal, the first partial signal being descriptive of an audio content in a first audio frequency range, the second partial signal being descriptive of an audio content in a second audio frequency range, the first audio frequency range having higher frequencies compared to the second audio frequency range. The audio signal decorrelator further comprises a partial signal modifier (140) for modifying the first partial signal, to obtain a first processed partial signal (150), and the second partial signal, to obtain a second processed partial signal (152), so that a modulation amplitude of a time variant phase shift or time variant delay applied to the first partial signal is higher than a modulation amplitude of a time variant phase shift or a time variant delay applied to the second partial signal, or for modifying only the first partial signal, so that a time variant phase shift or a time variant delay is applied to the first partial signal. The audio signal decorrelator further comprises a signal combiner (160) for combining the first processed partial signal and the second processed partial signal, or for combining the first processed partial signal and the second partial signal, to obtain an output audio signal (170). The audio signal decorrelator allows for an efficient decorrelation of audio signals, which is adapted to the human auditory perception. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
