Subjective evaluation results for two low-latency deep neural networks (DNN) are compared to a matured version of a traditional Wiener-filter based noise suppressor. The target use-case is real-world single-channel speech enhancement applications, e.g., communications. Real-world recordings consisting of additive stationary and non-stationary noise types are included. The evaluation is divided into four outcomes: speech quality, noise transparency, speech intelligibility or listening effort, and noise level w.r.t. speech. It is shown that DNNs improve noise suppression in all conditions in comparison to the traditional Wiener-filter baseline without major degradation in speech quality and noise transparency while maintaining speech intelligibility better than the baseline.
