contents Conventional wavelet-domain methods for room impulse response denoising rely on thresholding detail coefficients, which is unsuited for low frequencies. In this work, we introduce a wavelet-based post-processing algorithm that extends denoising to approximation coefficients by means of sparse dictionary learning with a time-varying error tolerance. The proposed method leverages an exponential decay envelope model to adapt reconstruction accuracy according to the local signal-to-noise ratio. This approach significantly improves low-frequency denoising of synthetic and measured room impulse responses compared to the baseline method, leading to more accurate estimation of acoustic parameters such as decay time.
