Abstract
In this paper, a new noise filling method is proposed for improving the performance of the 3D audio codec. In the new method, the core band is limited up to MAX_SFB, not up to the IGF start frequency. And the noise filling is applied to all frequency range of the IGF source patches. We conduct the MUSHRA test and find that the proposed noise filling method demonstrates better performance than the conventional method.
