This work aims at introducing a new algorithm, AUDASCITY, and comparing its performance to the time-frequency block thresholding algorithm for the ill-posed problem of audio denoising. We propose a heuristics which combines time-frequency structure, cosparsity, and an adaptive scheme to denoise audio signals corrupted with white noise. We report that AUDASCITY outperforms state-of-the-art for each numerical comparison. While there is still room for some perceptual improvements, AUDASCITY's usefulness is shown when used as a front-end for a classification task.
