A voice coding device capable of preventing overall quality degradation even when the bit rate for coding is lowered. The voice coding device codes a wide band signal in a first layer, and codes an extended band signal whose frequency band is located in higher frequency than the wide band signal in an extended band layer. An adaptive band selection unit (301) selects a frequency band to be excluded from a coding object in the extended band layer or a frequency band whose energy is to be attenuated in the extended band layer. A band-limited signal generation unit (302) excludes, within the frequency band of an input signal, the frequency band selected by the adaptive band selection unit (301) from the coding object, or attenuates the energy of the frequency band selected by the adaptive band selection unit (301). |
