The method of quantization noise control of audio coding in the wavelet domain is proposed. Using the inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), it converts the masking threshold coming from MPEG psycho-acoustic model in the frequency domain to the signal in the time domain; the Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT) is performed; the energy in each subband is regarded as the maximum allowed quantization noise energy. The experimental result shows that the proposed method can attain the nearly transparent audio quality below 64kbps for the most testing audio signals.
