NOISE REDUCTION APPARATUS, NOISE REDUCTION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

A noise reduction apparatus includes: an input device to which an electric signal is input from an external device; a signal processing circuit configured to perform predetermined signal processing on the electric signal input to the input device and output a generated signal to an external device; a switch configured to change over to either one of a connected state in which the input device and the signal processing circuit are electrically connected to each other and a disconnected state in which the input device and the signal processing circuit are electrically disconnected to each other; and a noise processing circuit configured to subtract a noise signal output from the signal processing circuit when the switch is in the disconnected state from the signal output from the signal processing circuit when the switch is in the connected state, and output a subtraction result.
