The generative adversarial networks (GANs) have facilitated the development of speech enhancement recently. Nevertheless, the performance advantage is still limited when compared with state-of-the-art models. In this paper, we propose a powerful Dynamic Attention Recursive GAN called DARGAN for noise reduction in the time-frequency domain. Different from previous works, we have several innovations. First, recursive learning, an iterative training protocol, is used in the generator, which consists of multiple steps. By reusing the network in each step, the noise components are progressively reduced in a step-wise manner. Second, the dynamic attention mechanism is deployed, which helps to re-adjust the feature distribution in the noise reduction module. Third, we exploit the deep Griffin-Lim algorithm as the module for phase postprocessing, which facilitates further improvement in speech quality. Experimental results on Voice Bank corpus show that the proposed GAN achieves state-of-the-art performance than previous GAN- and non-GAN-based models
