The invention is related to a device and a method for reducing direction dependent spatial noise. The proposed device includes a plurality of microphones (2,3,4,5) for measuring an acoustic input signal (XR1,XR2,XL1) from an acoustic source (7). The plurality of microphones (2,3,4,5) form at least one monaural pair (2,3) and at least one binaural pair (2,4). Di not rectional signal processing circuitry (71,72,73,74) is provided for obtaining, from said input signal (XR1,XR2,XL1), at least one monaural directional signal [Y1,N1) and at least one binaural directional signal (Y2, N2). A target signal level estimator (76) estimates a target signal level (Fs) by combining at least one of said monaural directional signals (Y1) and at least one of said binaural directional signals (Y2), which at least one monaural directional signal (Y1) and at least one binaural directional signal (Y2) mutually have a maximum response in a direction of said acoustic source (7). A noise signal level estimator (75) estimates a noise signal level (FD) by combining at least one of said monaural directional signals (N1) and at least one of said binaural directional signals (N2), which at least one monaural directional signal (N1) and at least one binaural directional signal (N2) mutually have a minimum sensitivity in the direction of said acoustic source (7).
