Title (semantic)
refactor(audio): replace ffmpeg-based SNR calculation with librosa

---

Description

This merge request refactors the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) calculation logic by replacing the previous FFmpeg-based implementation with a cleaner, pure Python approach using librosa and numpy.

Previously, SNR calculation relied on multiple FFmpeg subprocess executions, stdout parsing, regex extraction, and fallback chains to estimate audio quality metrics. This created a fragile implementation tightly coupled to FFmpeg output formatting and difficult to maintain or test.

The new implementation introduces a simplified and maintainable architecture using librosa RMS analysis for signal/noise estimation.

Refactor Summary

• Replaced FFmpeg subprocess-based SNR calculation with librosa
• Removed regex parsing and stdout-dependent logic
• Removed multi-level fallback estimation methods
• Reduced complexity from ~473 lines to a compact implementation
• Added safer validation for:
  • empty audio
  • invalid duration
  • empty RMS output
  • invalid signal/noise power values
• Improved logging and error handling
• Preserved existing public function signature for backward compatibility

Technical Changes

Updated File

• app/utils/snr_frequency.py

Removed

• FFmpeg subprocess execution
• ffprobe-based audio probing
• temporary audio extraction for video processing
• regex parsing of FFmpeg logs
• heuristic fallback SNR calculations

Added

• librosa.load() for media loading
• RMS feature extraction using librosa.feature.rms()
• Percentile-based signal/noise estimation:
  • 95th percentile → signal power
  • 5th percentile → noise power
• Runtime-safe validation checks

Integration Validation

Reviewed issue-referenced callers:

• app/tasks/data_analysis.py → no SNR usage found
• app/tasks/file_processing.py → no SNR usage found

Confirmed active compatibility with:

• app/api/v1/endpoints/records.py
• backfill/snr_frequency.py

No breaking changes introduced to existing callers.
