29
+
30
+ [LiveKit](https://livekit.io) noise suppression plugin using the [Hush](https://github.com/pulp-vision/Hush) speech enhancement model. Self-hosted, in-process, no cloud API.
31
+
32
+ Hush is built on [DeepFilterNet3](https://github.com/Rikorose/DeepFilterNet) with an auxiliary separation head for background speaker suppression. Inference uses a pure-numpy DSP frontend for STFT/ERB feature extraction and [ONNX Runtime](https://onnxruntime.ai) for the neural network. No PyTorch, no Rust toolchain, no prebuilt mystery binaries.
33
+
34
+ ---
35
+
36
+ ## Installation
37
+
38
+ ```
39
+ pip install livekit-plugins-hush
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ Dependencies: `livekit >= 1.0.25`, `livekit-agents >= 1.4.4`, `numpy >= 1.26.0`, `onnxruntime >= 1.17.0`.
43
+
44
+ ---
45
+
46
+ ## Usage
47
+
48
+ ```python
49
+ from livekit.agents import room_io
50
+ from livekit.plugins import hush
51
+
52
+ await session.start(
53
+ room_options=room_io.RoomOptions(
54
+ audio_input=room_io.AudioInputOptions(
55
+ noise_cancellation=hush.noise_suppression(),
56
+ ),
57
+ ),
58
+ )
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ One instance per session. The ONNX model is loaded once per worker process and shared across instances.
62
+
63
+ ### Parameters
64
+
65
+ ```python
66
+ hush.noise_suppression(
67
+ strength=0.5, # wet/dry blend: 0.0 = bypass, 1.0 = full (default 0.5)
68
+ atten_lim_db=100.0, # max attenuation in dB (100.0 = unlimited)
69
+ debug_logging=False, # log per-frame RMS every 100 frames
70
+ )
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ ---
74
+
75
+ ## Architecture
76
+
77
+ The model operates at 16 kHz with 10 ms frames (160 samples, 320-sample FFT). Processing is **per-frame streaming**: one 160-sample frame in, one 160-sample frame out, matching the API shape of the upstream `weya_nc` C library.
78
+
79
+ The three ONNX sub-models (`enc`, `erb_dec`, `df_dec`) have been re-exported to expose the encoder, ERB decoder, and DF decoder GRU hidden states as I/O. `HushSession` holds those three states (and a 4-frame DF filter history) and threads them through every call, so the GRU has continuous memory across the entire session — same mechanism as the C library.
80
+
81
+ The pure-numpy STFT runs in streaming mode (`reset=False`), so its analysis/synthesis filter state is carried across frames. The first frame's output is the STFT warmup (effectively zero); algorithmic latency is **1 frame (10 ms)** for the STFT lookahead, on top of GRU-state propagation which is fully causal.
82
+
83
+ ### Signal flow
84
+
85
+ ```
86
+ LiveKit AudioFrame (any rate, any channels)
87
+ → resample to 16 kHz mono
88
+ → buffer 10 ms (160 samples) per frame
89
+ → Pure-numpy streaming STFT (1 frame out, state carried)
90
+ → ERB features + DF spectral features
91
+ → ONNX: encoder → ERB decoder + DF decoder (with continuous GRU state)
92
+ → apply ERB mask + DF complex filter to spectrum
93
+ → apply atten_lim_db linear blend (matches upstream reference)
94
+ → Pure-numpy streaming ISTFT
95
+ → wet/dry blend
96
+ → upsample, restore channels
97
+ → AudioFrame
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ ### Model sharing
101
+
102
+ The ONNX session is a process-level singleton. Each `HushNoiseSuppressor` instance holds only per-stream DF state and audio buffers.
103
+
104
+ | Per worker | Per session |
105
+ |---|---|
106
+ | ~40 MB (onnxruntime + model) | ~1 MB (DF state + buffers) |
107
+
108
+ ---
109
+
110
+ ## Inference performance
111
+
112
+ | | Per-frame streaming | Batch (full file) |
113
+ |---|---|---|
114
+ | Frame size | 1 frame (10 ms) | Full audio |
115
+ | Algorithmic latency | 10 ms | N/A (offline) |
116
+ | Per-frame time (single session) | ~0.25 ms | — |
117
+ | Per-frame time (20 concurrent) | ~0.20 ms | — |
118
+ | Real-time factor | 0.025× (per frame) | 0.008× |
119
+ | Throughput | ~4,000 frames/sec per core (single session) | 129× real-time |
120
+ | Concurrent sessions per core | ~390+ at 100 fps | — |
121
+ | Model size | ~9 MB (3 ONNX files) | |
122
+
123
+ Per-frame time measured on a single ARM64 core with the silero-style
124
+ low-latency ORT config (`intra_op_num_threads=1`, `inter_op_num_threads=1`,
125
+ `ORT_SEQUENTIAL`, no spinning waits). End-to-end `process_frame` takes
126
+ ~0.35 ms per 10 ms frame (~28× real-time headroom on a single core).
127
+ Of that, ~0.085 ms is the pure-numpy DSP (STFT/ISTFT + ERB projection
128
+ + per-band EMA) and ~0.27 ms is the three ONNX sub-model inferences
129
+ (encoder + ERB decoder + DF decoder). For typical LiveKit use cases
130
+ (5-20 concurrent calls per agent worker), the plugin is comfortably
131
+ real-time on a single core.
132
+
133
+ **Concurrency model:** the plugin is GIL-bound. N concurrent sessions
134
+ on one core share the same Python GIL; per-frame work is mostly
135
+ C-level (ORT) which releases the GIL, plus a small amount of pure-numpy
136
+ DSP (STFT + ERB projection + per-band EMA). For higher concurrency
137
+ than ~500 streams per core, run multiple agent worker processes.
138
+
139
+ **ORT config:** we use the same low-latency session options as the
140
+ upstream [silero VAD plugin](https://github.com/livekit/agents/tree/main/livekit-plugins/livekit-plugins-silero)
141
+ — `intra_op_num_threads=1`, `inter_op_num_threads=1`,
142
+ `execution_mode=ORT_SEQUENTIAL`, no spinning waits. This is ~2× faster
143
+ than ORT defaults for single-stream inference because it avoids the
144
+ per-op thread-pool overhead ORT enables by default.
145
+
146
+ ---
147
+
148
+ ## ONNX model
149
+
150
+ The ONNX model bundle is from the public PyTorch checkpoint ([weya-ai/hush](https://huggingface.co/weya-ai/hush)). The three sub-models are re-exported with GRU hidden state as I/O using `scripts/export_onnx_stateful.py`; the export script downloads the PyTorch weights from Hugging Face and exports the new ONNX bundle.
151
+
152
+ Output parity is verified via `scripts/verify_against_pytorch.py`, which compares the per-frame ONNX pipeline output against the original PyTorch model.
153
+
154
+ ## Benchmarking
155
+
156
+ `scripts/benchmark.py` measures per-frame latency, multi-stream throughput, and a DSP-component breakdown on the host machine. Run it on the actual deployment host to see real numbers (the per-call cost varies ~5-10× between laptop CPUs and server-class x86 / ARM):
157
+
158
+ ```
159
+ python scripts/benchmark.py
160
+ python scripts/benchmark.py --json results.json
161
+ python scripts/benchmark.py --multi-streams 1,4,8,16,32 --multi-frames 1000
162
+ python scripts/benchmark.py --skip-dsp # single + multi-stream only
163
+ ```
164
+
165
+ The script prints a system-info header (Python, NumPy, ORT versions; CPU count), then three sections:
166
+ 1. **Single-stream latency** — full per-frame pipeline (`process_frame`), 5 trials, reports the median in µs/frame and the real-time factor (10 ms / per-frame).
167
+ 2. **Multi-stream throughput** — N concurrent sessions advancing in lockstep via a thread pool, reports elapsed time and CPU% of one core. Useful for sizing the agent worker (e.g. "with 16 streams we hit 35% of one core on this CPU").
168
+ 3. **DSP component breakdown** — analysis, ERB projection, ERB+DF normalization, and synthesis, in isolation from the three ONNX sub-model inferences. Shows how much of the per-frame cost is the numpy frontend vs the ORT calls.
169
+
170
+ `--json <path>` writes the same numbers in machine-readable form for tracking regressions across machines.
171
+
172
+ ---
173
+
174
+ ## Audio samples
175
+
176
+ Noisy originals and their Hush-denoised counterparts are in `docs/audio/`. The denoised files are produced by `scripts/process_audio_samples.py` using the same per-frame streaming pipeline the LiveKit frame processor uses in production (one 10 ms frame at a time, continuous GRU state, single session, no resets).

+ ## Installation
10
+
11
+ ```
12
+ pip install livekit-plugins-hush
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ Dependencies: `livekit >= 1.0.25`, `livekit-agents >= 1.4.4`, `numpy >= 1.26.0`, `onnxruntime >= 1.17.0`.
16
+

+
19
+ ## Usage
20
+
21
+ ```python
22
+ from livekit.agents import room_io
23
+ from livekit.plugins import hush
24
+
25
+ await session.start(
26
+ room_options=room_io.RoomOptions(
27
+ audio_input=room_io.AudioInputOptions(
28
+ noise_cancellation=hush.noise_suppression(),
29
+ ),
30
+ ),
31
+ )
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ One instance per session. The ONNX model is loaded once per worker process and shared across instances.
35
+
36
+ ### Parameters
37
+
38
+ ```python
39
+ hush.noise_suppression(
40
+ strength=0.5, # wet/dry blend: 0.0 = bypass, 1.0 = full (default 0.5)
41
+ atten_lim_db=100.0, # max attenuation in dB (100.0 = unlimited)
42
+ debug_logging=False, # log per-frame RMS every 100 frames
43
+ )
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ ---
47
+
48
+ ## Architecture
49
+
50
+ The model operates at 16 kHz with 10 ms frames (160 samples, 320-sample FFT). Processing is **per-frame streaming**: one 160-sample frame in, one 160-sample frame out, matching the API shape of the upstream `weya_nc` C library.
51
+
52
+ The three ONNX sub-models (`enc`, `erb_dec`, `df_dec`) have been re-exported to expose the encoder, ERB decoder, and DF decoder GRU hidden states as I/O. `HushSession` holds those three states (and a 4-frame DF filter history) and threads them through every call, so the GRU has continuous memory across the entire session — same mechanism as the C library.
53
+
54
+ The pure-numpy STFT runs in streaming mode (`reset=False`), so its analysis/synthesis filter state is carried across frames. The first frame's output is the STFT warmup (effectively zero); algorithmic latency is **1 frame (10 ms)** for the STFT lookahead, on top of GRU-state propagation which is fully causal.
55
+
56
+ ### Signal flow
57
+
58
+ ```
59
+ LiveKit AudioFrame (any rate, any channels)
60
+ → resample to 16 kHz mono
61
+ → buffer 10 ms (160 samples) per frame
62
+ → Pure-numpy streaming STFT (1 frame out, state carried)
63
+ → ERB features + DF spectral features
64
+ → ONNX: encoder → ERB decoder + DF decoder (with continuous GRU state)
65
+ → apply ERB mask + DF complex filter to spectrum
66
+ → apply atten_lim_db linear blend (matches upstream reference)
67
+ → Pure-numpy streaming ISTFT
68
+ → wet/dry blend
69
+ → upsample, restore channels
70
+ → AudioFrame
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ ### Model sharing
74
+
75
+ The ONNX session is a process-level singleton. Each `HushNoiseSuppressor` instance holds only per-stream DF state and audio buffers.
76
+
77
+ | Per worker | Per session |
78
+ |---|---|
79
+ | ~40 MB (onnxruntime + model) | ~1 MB (DF state + buffers) |
80
+
81
+ ---
82
+
83
+ ## Inference performance
84
+
85
+ | | Per-frame streaming | Batch (full file) |
86
+ |---|---|---|
87
+ | Frame size | 1 frame (10 ms) | Full audio |
88
+ | Algorithmic latency | 10 ms | N/A (offline) |
89
+ | Per-frame time (single session) | ~0.25 ms | — |
90
+ | Per-frame time (20 concurrent) | ~0.20 ms | — |
91
+ | Real-time factor | 0.025× (per frame) | 0.008× |
92
+ | Throughput | ~4,000 frames/sec per core (single session) | 129× real-time |
93
+ | Concurrent sessions per core | ~390+ at 100 fps | — |
94
+ | Model size | ~9 MB (3 ONNX files) | |
95
+
96
+ Per-frame time measured on a single ARM64 core with the silero-style
97
+ low-latency ORT config (`intra_op_num_threads=1`, `inter_op_num_threads=1`,
98
+ `ORT_SEQUENTIAL`, no spinning waits). End-to-end `process_frame` takes
99
+ ~0.35 ms per 10 ms frame (~28× real-time headroom on a single core).
100
+ Of that, ~0.085 ms is the pure-numpy DSP (STFT/ISTFT + ERB projection
101
+ + per-band EMA) and ~0.27 ms is the three ONNX sub-model inferences
102
+ (encoder + ERB decoder + DF decoder). For typical LiveKit use cases
103
+ (5-20 concurrent calls per agent worker), the plugin is comfortably
104
+ real-time on a single core.
105
+
106
+ **Concurrency model:** the plugin is GIL-bound. N concurrent sessions
107
+ on one core share the same Python GIL; per-frame work is mostly
108
+ C-level (ORT) which releases the GIL, plus a small amount of pure-numpy
109
+ DSP (STFT + ERB projection + per-band EMA). For higher concurrency
110
+ than ~500 streams per core, run multiple agent worker processes.
111
+
112
+ **ORT config:** we use the same low-latency session options as the
113
+ upstream [silero VAD plugin](https://github.com/livekit/agents/tree/main/livekit-plugins/livekit-plugins-silero)
114
+ — `intra_op_num_threads=1`, `inter_op_num_threads=1`,
115
+ `execution_mode=ORT_SEQUENTIAL`, no spinning waits. This is ~2× faster
116
+ than ORT defaults for single-stream inference because it avoids the
117
+ per-op thread-pool overhead ORT enables by default.
118
+
119
+ ---
120
+
121
+ ## ONNX model
122
+
123
+ The ONNX model bundle is from the public PyTorch checkpoint ([weya-ai/hush](https://huggingface.co/weya-ai/hush)). The three sub-models are re-exported with GRU hidden state as I/O using `scripts/export_onnx_stateful.py`; the export script downloads the PyTorch weights from Hugging Face and exports the new ONNX bundle.
124
+
125
+ Output parity is verified via `scripts/verify_against_pytorch.py`, which compares the per-frame ONNX pipeline output against the original PyTorch model.
126
+
127
+ ## Benchmarking
128
+
129
+ `scripts/benchmark.py` measures per-frame latency, multi-stream throughput, and a DSP-component breakdown on the host machine. Run it on the actual deployment host to see real numbers (the per-call cost varies ~5-10× between laptop CPUs and server-class x86 / ARM):
130
+
131
+ ```
132
+ python scripts/benchmark.py
133
+ python scripts/benchmark.py --json results.json
134
+ python scripts/benchmark.py --multi-streams 1,4,8,16,32 --multi-frames 1000
135
+ python scripts/benchmark.py --skip-dsp # single + multi-stream only
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ The script prints a system-info header (Python, NumPy, ORT versions; CPU count), then three sections:
139
+ 1. **Single-stream latency** — full per-frame pipeline (`process_frame`), 5 trials, reports the median in µs/frame and the real-time factor (10 ms / per-frame).
140
+ 2. **Multi-stream throughput** — N concurrent sessions advancing in lockstep via a thread pool, reports elapsed time and CPU% of one core. Useful for sizing the agent worker (e.g. "with 16 streams we hit 35% of one core on this CPU").
141
+ 3. **DSP component breakdown** — analysis, ERB projection, ERB+DF normalization, and synthesis, in isolation from the three ONNX sub-model inferences. Shows how much of the per-frame cost is the numpy frontend vs the ORT calls.
142
+
143
+ `--json <path>` writes the same numbers in machine-readable form for tracking regressions across machines.
144
+

146
+
147
+ ## Audio samples
148
+
149
+ Noisy originals and their Hush-denoised counterparts are in `docs/audio/`. The denoised files are produced by `scripts/process_audio_samples.py` using the same per-frame streaming pipeline the LiveKit frame processor uses in production (one 10 ms frame at a time, continuous GRU state, single session, no resets).
