I have a corrupted audio file which contains a message with very loud noise, and I should filter the noise as
much as possible. I tried couple of filters, and I could eliminate some of the noises but it's not enough. P.S.
The expected audio file is also there, which I plotted it to compare the filtered one with it. Both audio files
and the code are provided in the zip file.

 
clc;
close all;
clear;

[Clean, Fs2] = audioread('expected.m4a');

[sample_data, sample_rate] = audioread('corrupted.m4a');

signal = medfilt1(sample_data,90); % Applying median filter

%_______________________________________________________________________________%
Fs = sample_rate; % Sampling Frequency (Hz)
Fn = Fs/2; % Nyquist Frequency (Hz)
Wp = 1000/Fn; % Passband Frequency (Normalised)
Ws = 1010/Fn; % Stopband Frequency (Normalised)
Rp = 1; % Passband Ripple (dB)
Rs = 150; % Stopband Ripple (dB)
[n,Ws] = cheb2ord(Wp,Ws,Rp,Rs); % Filter Order
[z,p,k] = cheby2(n,Rs,Ws,'low'); % Filter Design
[soslp,glp] = zp2sos(z,p,k); % Convert To Second-Order-Section For Stability

filtered_sound2 = filtfilt(soslp, glp, signal);

%_______________________________________________________________________________%

fs2_d = [filtered_sound2,filtered_sound2];

sound(fs2_d, sample_rate)

subplot(4,1,1);
plot(sample_data); % Original Signal
title('Original Signal');
xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel ('Amplitude');

subplot(4,1,2);
plot(filtered_sound2); % Filtered output
title('Filtered Signal Double');
xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel ('Amplitude');

subplot(4,1,3);
plot(fs2_d); % Filtered output
title('Filtered Signal Double');
xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel ('Amplitude');

subplot(4,1,4);
plot(Clean); % Expected output
title('Expected Signal');
xlabel('Time (s)'); ylabel ('Amplitude');

Hello, I faced the following errors

Error using sound (line 76)

Only one- and two-channel audio supported.

Error in dsp (line 26)

sound(fs2_d, sample_rate)

while trying to implement your code

@Naser Je

would you help
