Hi. I have recently noticed a bubbling sound in the audio of my videos and it is AWFUL. It sounds like a fish tank. I have closed my windows, turned off the ceiling fan and it is still there. I use my webcam and built in mic that came with my laptop.

What can I do to improve the sound quality of my videos?

I have moved this to the Video Editing, Recording, Software and Hardware forum.

Generally the mics that come with laptops, phones, etc. are designed for no more than Skype, Phone calls, etc., even headset mics I have owned haven't been all that great since they are meant for VOIP.

I also suppose is the low quality microphone. Decent desk microphones can be found in the 20 euros range, so it's not a big expense

It's either the mic's problem or your recording area has a lot of noises. You can try using audio software to noise gate the background noise out. :)
