Take the hiss of a cheap microphone or the hum of a home setup out of an episode before you edit it.
Remove background noise from your recording
Clean the hiss, fan noise and hum out of a podcast, a voice-over or a phone recording. The removed noise comes back as its own track, so you can compare and decide how clean is clean enough.

Remove Background Noise from Audio
Clean the hiss, fan noise and hum out of a podcast, a voice-over or a phone recording. The removed noise comes back as its own track, so you can compare and decide how clean is clean enough.
How it works
Clean up a recording in three steps
1Step 1
Upload the recording
MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A or OGG, up to 50 MB and 12 minutes. Split a longer recording into parts first.
2Step 2
Remove the noise
Processing separates the steady noise from the voice and returns both as tracks you can play side by side.
3Step 3
Compare and download
Switch between the original and the clean audio, then download the clean track as MP3 or WAV.
What you can do
A background noise remover for voice recordings
Noise that sits under every word is tiring to listen to and hard to edit out by hand. Separate it from the voice in one pass.
Remove hiss, hum and fan noise
The noise remover targets steady sounds that run under the whole recording: microphone hiss, a laptop or air-conditioner fan, electrical hum and the constant noise of a room. Sudden or changing sounds, such as a door, a barking dog or keyboard clicks, can stay in the clean track, so listen through before you publish.
Remove background noise from audio without recording again
Rescue a take made in a home office, a hotel room or a car instead of booking a quiet room and recording it all over. Upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A or OGG up to 50 MB and 12 minutes; for a longer podcast episode, split it into parts, clean each one and join them again in your editor.
Hear exactly what was removed
The noise comes back as its own track instead of simply disappearing. Solo it and listen for words or breaths that went with it, then switch between the original and the clean audio to judge the difference. If the removed track holds only hiss and hum, the clean version is ready to download.
Download clean audio as MP3 or WAV
Download the clean track, and the removed noise if you want it, in the format you chose before processing; WAV output costs twice the credits of MP3. A mix exported from the mixer is saved as WAV for further editing. Finished tasks stay in your history on this page, so you can come back to them later.
Blend a little noise back in
Heavy noise can leave a voice slightly thin or watery once it is gone. If the clean version sounds too dry, unmute the removed noise and pull its volume low in the mixer, so the room returns without the hiss taking over. Export that blend as a WAV file and use it in place of the clean track.
Made for your workflow

FAQ
Background noise remover questions
Upload the recording and start processing. The result opens with the clean audio playing and the removed noise muted on its own track. Compare it with the original, then download the clean track as MP3 or WAV.
It works best on steady noise that runs under the whole recording: hiss, fan and air-conditioner noise, electrical hum and constant room noise. Sudden or changing sounds, such as a dog barking, a door, keyboard clicks or other people talking, can stay in the clean track.
Music is not noise to this tool, so it mostly stays in. Use a music remover instead, such as Remove Background Music from Video, which also takes audio files and puts the voice, the music and other sounds on separate tracks.
On light noise the voice usually sounds the same, just cleaner. Heavy noise can leave the voice slightly thin or watery where the noise was strongest. If that happens, bring a little of the removed noise back in the mixer and export that blend.
No. Room echo is reflected sound, not noise, and needs a separate pass. Use Reverb Remover for a recording that sounds distant or echoey.
Each upload can be up to 12 minutes and 50 MB. Split a longer episode into parts in your editor, process each part, and join the clean tracks again afterwards.
Applause and cheering change from moment to moment, so they are handled by a different model. Use Crowd Noise Remover for live recordings.
Upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A or OGG. The clean track and the removed noise download as MP3 or WAV, depending on the output format you choose before processing; WAV output costs twice the credits of MP3. A mix exported from the mixer is saved as WAV.
Yes. Sign in to upload a recording; processing uses credits, and the cost is shown on the button before you start. Finished tasks stay in your history on this page.
