How to remove background noise

1

Choose the file

A voice note, a recording, a lecture, or a video (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, MP4, MOV, WebM).

2

Pick a strength

Voice (AI) suits speech: talks, vlogs, podcasts, voice notes. Light is gentler and keeps music natural. Strong is for very noisy recordings.

3

Remove the noise

The sound is cleaned in your browser, usually in seconds for a few minutes of audio.

4

Listen and download

Play the result, and try another strength if needed. Download it in the same format; a video keeps its picture.

Why voices pick up noise, and what can be taken out

Phone and laptop microphones pick up everything in the room: the fan or AC, traffic outside, a keyboard, an echoing room. In a lecture recording, a voice note or a vlog it makes the voice tiring to listen to, and it hurts automatic subtitles too.

Steady noise (hum, hiss, fans, AC) comes out cleanly. Changing noise like traffic, clatter and chatter is reduced a lot by the Voice setting. Music behind a voice is treated as noise by Voice and Strong; for a song or a video with background music, use Light.

How it works

The file is processed by FFmpeg running in your browser. Voice uses RNNoise, a small neural network trained to keep speech and drop everything else; it listens in 10-millisecond slices, so it follows noise that comes and goes. Light uses a classic noise filter that learns the steady background and lowers it. Every strength first cuts deep rumble from wind, traffic and handling.

For a video, only the sound is changed: the picture is copied as it is, so it keeps its quality and the job stays quick. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove background noise from a video?

Choose the video on this page, keep the Voice strength for speech, and press Remove background noise. The sound is cleaned in your browser and the picture is kept as it is. Download the video when it's done.

Will it remove music?

Voice and Strong are made for speech and treat music as noise, so they reduce it. To keep background music, use Light, which only lowers steady noise like hiss and hum.

Can it fix a WhatsApp voice note?

Yes. Choose the voice note (OGG, OPUS or M4A). You get it back cleaned, in the same format.

Does it make the voice sound robotic?

With Voice, usually not: speech stays natural. Strong can thin out a voice a little in very noisy recordings, so listen and pick the strength that sounds best.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The noise removal runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.

How long can the recording be?

On a computer, recordings of an hour or more work; on a phone, keep to shorter files. Very long videos may need more memory than the browser allows; the page tells you before starting.
