Abstract

This application relates to an audio signal processing method and apparatus, a storage medium, and a vehicle. The method includes: obtaining a first audio signal collected by a sound sensor; processing one or more of human voice information, harmonic information, and burst sound information that are included in the first audio signal, to determine a first noise signal in the first audio signal; adjusting a second audio signal based on the first noise signal and the second audio signal to obtain a third audio signal, where the second audio signal is an original audio source of a play device, and the adjustment includes amplitude adjustment; and playing the third audio signal by using the play device. According to embodiments of this application, a current noise level can be accurately estimated, so that an adjusted audio signal has a better noise masking effect, and auditory experience of a user is better. In addition, in the foregoing process, dependency on non-acoustic state information is avoided, and this adjustment method can be used in a plurality of scenarios, is more flexible, and supports fast deployment.
