Copyrighted Background Noise

[Franklin]

I researched the topic, but could not find any good answers for my problem. I shot a few videos last week and I did not pay too much attention to the TV. The TV was on louder than I thought and I can hear the football game during my video. I decided to take it down from YouTube and not upload the other videos. Could I get a strike if I upload these videos? I don't want to run into any problems. That's why I deleted the one video today.

You could receive a "registered audio" (or something that sounds like) match..
It's difficult to receive strikes for this kind or third part matches...

Maybe someone has different experiences than mine =)

I'd redo them without the TV in the background. While you might not get a strike off the bat, you could indeed get a Content ID match resulting in the broadcast network who set the game up on TV monetizing your video.

Background noise is fair use, so you should be able to dispute and appeal them. As for getting a strike, you can get a strike from anyone for any reason. You just have to send a counter-notification when you know it wasn't legitimate, such as this case.

They can't be redone. I may have to pay someone to remove the background noise if possible.

You could just pop the video into an editing program that can reduce background noise. If you don't have any of those programs you can download a trial of the software.

I did get a content id claim from background noise. My brother was jamming out in the other room while i was streaming. I just deleted the stream

I overcame the problem and reedited the videos. I replaced the videos' original audio with free music from YouTube. I think the videos are better with the music.

No. Not all background noise comes under fair use, that is still up to the copyright holder. Otherwise everyone would be using copyrighted music as "background noise", me included.

If it is broadcast background noise it is. It just can't be something you have control over. In the OP's case, it is fair use.
