1. A frequency division, energy comparison signal processing system for detecting the presence of, and separating the contributions from, sources that compose a wide-band sound signal, comprising:

  • means for dividing at least part of a wide-band sound signal into a plurality of discrete narrow frequency band components;

    means for generating the energy envelope of each of the narrow band components;

    means for normalizing each said envelope;

    means for multiplying each normalized envelope with each of the other normalized envelopes to obtain a plurality of envelope correlation coefficients for each frequency band component; and

    means for identifying a sound source seed frequency band for determining sound signal frequency components associated with a sound source.
