Annoying Buzzing Sound

[GreyStreetGirl]

I live in a 2 room apartment so there isn't really a quiet space for me to film. That being said, I turn off all of my appliances in an attempt to remove any extra noise.... but in the past few videos, I've still been getting this really really annoying buzz and I don't know where it's coming from. I haven't changed mics or anything so I don't know why it's getting more noticeable.

Any help?

Maybe some static problem with the mic, u can use noise removal tool for better quality

How are you recording your audio? There are some audio programs that allow you to take a sample of the sound you want to remove, and then apply it to the whole recording to remove the noise.

I'm just using the camera mic for now. I am in between jobs so I don't really have the money to improve my gear. Could I use audacity somehow?

It's because you are using a camera mic. The quality will be very poor and you won't be able to get rid of that humm/buzz.

The buzz could be from your:
- Computer/Laptop hardware (most commonly fans)
- Computer vibrations making the machine and desk shake a little bit
- (as the other guys said) built-in camera mics are generally quite bad quality. Chances are it's developed a fault or it's always been that way!

If it's a consistent buzz then noise removal can help. Try Tarmack's tutorial here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4CqjvATHew I know it says for game commentary but the principals are the same. Make sure you backup your original audio just in case. Also if using Audacity get the FFmpeg plugin which usually allows you to strip audio from video files but I'm not sure what format your camera would record in.

Yeah, Audacity has a pretty good noise removal tool. I use it in my videos to reduce my PC's fan noise.

Did you recently change the kHz of the microphone at which you record by chance? I know when I switch mine to try to record at 48000 Hz, I get a high pitched buzzing so have to stick with 44000 Hz. Might be worth checking that?
