This paper describes CMU SIN, a new database of speech in noise that can be used for unit selection speech synthesis. We describe a process that can be used to elicit speech in noise and how to use that as part of building a synthetic voice that speaks in noise. Details of the database we constructed, as well as some preliminary analysis and future goals of this work, are also included.
