According to the invention, the filtering loudness gain of a filtering signal of each frequency band is adjusted according to a wide dynamic range compression curve without an output loudness upper limit. Therefore, the filtering loudness gain of each frequency band is reduced through reducing a gain decrease adjustment value, so that the loudness of a loudness adjustment filtering signal is reduced. As a result, the loudness of an outputted voice signal is lower than a first threshold value. By meansof the voice signal processing device and the voice signal processing method, the sound quality of outputted voice signals can be greatly improved.
