Frequency Masking

Frequency masking is a technique used in audio processing where certain sound frequencies are intentionally hidden or suppressed to reduce noise or improve clarity. Think of it like adjusting the bass or treble on a speaker to make some sounds more prominent while quietly pushing others into the background. This method is useful in improving speech recognition, noise reduction, or audio quality by selectively filtering specific frequency ranges that may contain unwanted noise or less important sounds, making the overall audio clearer and easier to understand.
