contents As speech generation technologies advance, so do risks of impersonation, misinformation, and spoofing. We present a lightweight, training-free approach for detecting synthetic speech and attributing it to its source model. Our method addresses three tasks: (1) single-model attribution in an open-world setting, (2) multi-model attribution in a closed-world setting, and (3) real vs. synthetic speech classification. The core idea is simple: we compute standardized average residuals--the difference between an audio signal and its filtered version--to extract model-agnostic fingerprints that capture synthesis artifacts. Experiments across multiple synthesis systems and languages show AUROC scores above 99%, with strong reliability even when only a subset of model outputs is available. The method maintains high performance under common audio distortions, including echo and moderate background noise, while data augmentation can improve results in more challenging conditions. In addition, out-of-domain detection is performed using Mahalanobis distances to in-domain residual fingerprints, achieving an F1 score of 0.91 on unseen models, reinforcing the method's efficiency, generalizability, and suitability for digital forensics and security applications.
