<p>A noise reduction circuit comprises a high-pass filter (34) for extracting a signal component containing noise from an input signal, a variable level limiter (35) for limiting the level of the signal component extracted by the filter (34) to produce a noise suppressing signal, and a level adjuster (44) for adjusting the level of the noise suppressing signal. A level detector (46) detects the level of the input signal, and a control signal generator (47) generates first and second control signals based on the detected output of the level detector (46), supplies the first control signal to the level limiter (35) so as to control the limit level thereof, and supplies the second control signal to the level adjuster (44) so as to control the gain thereof. In a signal subtracter (33), the noise suppressing signal from the level adjuster (44) is added with reversed polarity to the input signal to suppress the noise contained in the input signal and thereby produce a low-noise output signal.</p> |
