Many people have great difficulty in Understanding speech with background noise. Speech Enhancement plays a vital role in such situations. The background noise has to be removed from the noisy speech signal to increase the signal intelligibility and to reduce the listener fatigue. In this paper, a novel approach is used to enhance the perceived quality of the speech signal when the additive noise cannot be directly controlled. The proposed approach is a speech enhancement method based on the preprocessed sub band spectral subtraction method, and the preprocessing is done by using partial differential equation.
