1. An apparatus for generating a frequency enhancement signal, comprising:

  • a signal generator for generating an enhancement signal from a core signal, the enhancement signal comprising an enhancement frequency range not comprised in the core signal, wherein a current time portion of the enhancement signal or the core signal comprises subband signals for a plurality of subbands; and

    a controller for calculating the same smoothing information for the plurality of subband signals of the enhancement frequency range or the core signal, andwherein the signal generator is configured for smoothing the plurality of subband signals of the enhancement frequency range or the core signal using the same smoothing information, wherein the controller is configured to calculate the smoothing information using a combined energy of the plurality of subband signals of the core signal and the frequency enhancement signal or using only the frequency enhancement signal of the current time portion, andusing an average energy of the plurality of subband signals of the core signal and the frequency enhancement signal or of the core signal only of one or more earlier time portions preceding the current time portion or one or more later time portions following the current time portion.
