A system and method for performing speech recognition in cyclostationary noise environments includes a characterization module that may access original cyclostationary noise from an intended operating environment of a speech recognition device. The characterization module may then convert the original cyclostationary noise into target stationary noise which retains characteristics of the original cyclostationary noise. A conversion module may then generate a modified training database by utilizing the target stationary noise to modify an original training database that was prepared for training a recognizer in the speech recognition device. A training module may then train the recognizer with the modified training database to thereby optimize speech recognition procedures in cyclostationary noise environments.
