How to Remove Background Noise in Audacity

[Josh Henry]

So if you use a Yeti Pro or any other mic that picks up a lot of background noise, you'll always want to try and remove it before uploading your video , right? Well in Audacity its really easy so I figured I would show how to do it as my first real contribution to the forum!

Step One
Highlight a space of noise that is purely background noise, no vocals at all.

Step Two
Go to "Effects" on the toolbar and select "Noise Removal"

Step Three
Select "Get Noise Profile"

Step Four
Deselect your clip from step one and go back to "Noise Removal" in the "Effects" tab and click OK.


Your done, this should have removed the background noise, if there is still some noise, repeat the process.

It doesn't take that long since one you select the "Get Noise Profile" you only have to remove noise once to remove any background noise thats similar to the noise profile you selected earlier. And are you talking about like your mic picking up the sound? If so, messing with the noise removal and amplify effects on the mouse clicks until you found a good volume.

Yeah... good idea n nice tips, but my videos recorded in outdoor and most of them have Wind Noise. I can't edit the sound. So simple thing is make no audio...
