Re: Subtracting regularly repeating sounds
Hi all,
Our lab has been doing work on separating complex (and simple) repeating patterns from non-repeating audio (e.g. drum riff separated from person talking). We have source code, published articles and audio examples available here:
http://music.cs.northwestern.edu/research.php?project=repet
We're also giving a tutorial along with Josh McDermott on what we've been doing at the upcoming ISMIR conference called "Leveraging Repetition to Parse the Auditory Scene" http://ismir2012.ismir.net/event/tutorials

Kyle,
The task reminds me of some work done by colleagues of mine, separating the components heart sound signals from stethoscope recordings. In their case they wanted to keep the repeating part rather than suppress it, but the basic characteristics of the sound - regular but slowly varying - are a good match.
