A noise reduction device is configured by use of: means for calculating a predetermined constant, and a predetermined reference signal Rω(T) in the frequency domain, respectively by use of adaptive coefficients Wω(m), and for thereby obtaining estimated values Nω and Qω(T) respectively of stationary noise components, and non-stationary noise components corresponding to the reference signal, which are included in a predetermined observed signal Xω(T) in the frequency domain; means and for applying a noise reduction process to the observed signal on the basis of each of the estimated values, and for updating each of the adaptive coefficients on the basis of a result of the process; and an adaptive learning means and for repeating the obtaining of the estimated values and the updating of the adaptive coefficients, and for thereby learning each of the adaptive coefficients.
