description Abstract As cardiovascular disorders are prevalent, there is a growing demand for reliable and precise diagnostic methods within this domain. Audio signal-based heart disease detection is a promising area of research that leverages sound signals generated by the heart to identify and diagnose cardiovascular disorders. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are pivotal in classifying and identifying heart disease from audio signals. This study investigates ML and DL techniques to detect heart disease by analyzing noisy sound signals. This study employed two subsets of datasets from the PASCAL CHALLENGE having real heart audios. The research process and visually depict signals using spectrograms and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). We employ data augmentation to improve the model’s performance by introducing synthetic noise to the heart sound signals. In addition, a feature ensembler is developed to integrate various audio feature extraction techniques. Several machine learning and deep learning classifiers are utilized for heart disease detection. Among the numerous models studied and previous study findings, the multilayer perceptron model performed best, with an accuracy rate of 95.65%. This study demonstrates the potential of this methodology in accurately detecting heart disease from sound signals. These findings present promising opportunities for enhancing medical diagnosis and patient care.
