-- How To Remove Background Noise In Videos (Updated!) --
While audio issues are best avoided in the shooting process, sometimes background noise from an air-conditioner or an open window goes unnoticed until the edit process, and unwanted noise in your videos can be distracting for your viewers.
The great news is, there are so many options out there to remove background noise, with programs like Audacity or Adobe Audition, and even a few simple tweaks you can make to your audio files in your Video Editing Software.
In this video we’ll show you exactly how you can remove background noise in your videos, with a few audio editing tips and tricks along the way!

Nice video. Actually I would like to give a bit of advice in addition, some extra steps to make it even better. Especially because this method only works for static noise, but not as good for low or high pitched noises.
Since the human voice has a limited bandwidth there are some extra tricks you can do.
It's important to follow these steps in order.
First we add a highpass filter of around 100-200hz to remove any low frequency sound and rumble. Next we add a lowpass filter at 6-10khz to remove any high pitched noises. If you want to do any equalizing, now it's also time to do it. After that we do the same noise reduction trick shown i this video, but keep it more on the safe side. The reason is because next we are going to add a so called noise gate. The combination really removes a lot of noise. Also keep the settings of the noise gate on the safe side.
An additional step is to add a compressor to make your voice sound more clear. But be careful otherwise you'll sound like one of these annoying radio stations.
@Justin. You're free to use this information in another video if you like. I have been recording audio for years and I have found that this method is close to bullet proof. All these things are possible in Audacity. I just made a sort of profile/preset and basically always use it with any voice audio clip.
Thanks Piet - great advise to take this further for everyone. Pinned this comment. We covered a similar process a while back in a video titled how to remove wind noise where we showed how using the high and low pass filters work well to help clean up previously unusable audio :)
Piet Muijs Hey, thank for sharing the tip
In your comment, u said « First we add a high pass filter of around 100-200hz to remove any low frequency sound & rumble; next we add a low pass filter at 6-10kz to remove any high pitched noises »
We have to to this correction in « audacity »?
@@gorgetteadelaide7058 you dont have to do that in audacity, you can eq after in any DAW you want if you feel like
Great video and also great comment! Thank you to the both of you! My new videos are gonna be super crisp 🙏
Thank you very much for your comment Piet! You saved my video with so much of less effort! Thanks from Korea!
Thanks again, Justin. This vid was very helpful, as Part 3 of our current yoga series (Awakening Gentle Awareness) had airconditioner background noise. It's very cold at the moment in Adelaide, and our reverse cycle air conditioner was on, so Jen could keep warm during her class. Jen had it off for Part 2 of the series, but accidentally left it on for Part 3. Audacity is currently exporting the file, but the preview was great - significant noise reduction and no air conditioner sound! Cheers again. James (and Jen).
The parallels between this and astrophotography noise reduction are profound.
We all owe Mr Fourier a lot of gratitude. :)
This is a brilliant tip! We are just starting out, and we video in bars, so background noise is a real issue, as you can imagine. Thanks Justin
That's awesome! Good luck with your videos! 🍻
Your tutorial is super helpful, Justin! I had tried Audactity a couple of years ago and found it confusing. I shot a smartphone video today in a hotel atrium and between the AC and a fountain going in the background, I had a mess on my hands. After following this tutorial, I removed all of the noise and now have a lovely vocals-only video sitting in Screenflow for export. Thank you!
You're welcome - glad you found it helpful 😃
My friend, you are an absolute god! I make short gaming movies and I've been messing around with the noise reduction settings in my video editing software for months, trying to get rid of the noise but my voice quality always takes a hit! I tried audacity years ago but none of the videos I watched ever explained it well enough. But you were very clear, to the point and easy to understand with none of the unnecessary extra fluff! After watching your video I tried exactly what you said and it has worked perfectly! Thank you very much!
You're welcome - so glad you've found value in our content! 😃
JUSTIN BROWN, YOU ARE AMAZING! You have no idea how much you're helping me! I've watched so many of your videos & I super excited! You need like a CZcamsr of the year award!!
Nice one Justin that's a very handy but simple trick to apply 👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Ok seriously, your video and audacity saved my butt last night while making content. I forgot to turn off a table fan after filming and then remembered I saved this video. Absolute life saver. Thank you!
Easy thing to forget! so glad we could help you with that! 😊
This is exactly what I've been wanting to do for the last two months!! I was about to begin editing this week and had no idea how to do this. Thank you for being the perfect guide to us new youtubers! I would love to see how to do this in DaVinci Resolve 16. Some thoughts on video ideas - very beginner level color grading for a quick easy win would be helpful.
Thanks Hamza! You can clean up your audio a little in Davinci and other applications too, but this process will likey do a better job
awesome, Justin!! cant wait to try this. bought a videomicro to shoot my videos and record guided meditations, and it does a great job!! plus the noise reduction tool, gonna get some really noice audios!! 😆😍 thank you!!
I just bought a new lavalier mic and it was capturing good voice but there was this awful background noise. You have just made my life easier, i can now start filming without any worries.
Thank you so much lad, been working on a project for my channel and got some audio with some bad static in the background so I really appreciate the help, keep up the good work and thanks for all the other tutorials you've helped me with, have a good day
Awesome, definetly more tutorials coming right up! I'm happy I was able to help to fix your problem w/ the audio. Enjoy your day 😃
This is exactly what I want for noise reduction. I used audacity on my window and it is really works. Thank you so much.
Great - so glad it worked out for you! 👍
Thanks for updating this. Can't tell you how many times I've had to refer back to your previous video on this topic!
Thanks Shamil, that's lovely to hear!
Thank you. I tried others but, this one cleaned up my noise issue the best. It's still not perfect but, until I can figure out why my mic is so low, and why I am missing all the "features" in the sound properties, this is likely my best option.
Thanks!
Sure thing Morgana! Glad this is working out for you 👍
Thanks Justin, editing for our community group and you have been a lifesaver!
You're welcome - happy to help! 🙏
Thank you so much for the info!
As a beginner in recording and editing with Audacity I learned a lot from this! And this helped me with my recordings!
Happy to hear that Poliana - So glad it helped 😃 👍
Thank you for all your helpful videos!! I have a small question how can we avoid these issues while filming? like there are any camera setup to reduce the air conditioners background? thanks again!
This program is a lifesaver! Thanks for the information.
Perfect timing. Thank you so much for this video. I encountered this problem yesterday. Now I can go about fixing it.
Nice one! No problem 😊
Justin brown is the man.. I learn more then enough from you bro... Thanks.
This video helped me so much because I have a sensitive mic and a loud computer. Thanks!
Thank you for this, when i did this it made popping mouth sounds and stuff more noticable ahhh is there a way ahead of time to prevent all these weird little noises from happening?
Great tutorial. Thanks for uploading it.
Another video that saves the day Justin, keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing.
Awesome to hear! No problem, David!
Hi Justin. Thanks for your videos. They are so helpful. I have a question and hope you can help me out. I use iMovie to reduce the background noise but the quality of my voice is so bad( I use wireless rode micro to make video). What can i do to solve it? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much. I used audacity so many times but never download the FFmpeg that allow me to import the video audio. You saved me!
You’re welcome!
thanks for the step by step video on the audia video. I tried watching several others after seeing yours but I had to come back to yours, you really went through all the steps to help a person not to savvy online
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
Dude! Thank you so much. Amazing!!
TY SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO MAN!!!!!
Hello brother. I want to congratulate you for making life of people easy and not just making useless content. May you be happy, healthy and blessed
Thank you for your kind words 😀
Omgggg God bless you so much!! I have been stressing about my vidoes. I used the noise removal on my video editing software but it was not enough. My first 3 youtube videos had noise in them but thanks to you, I don't have to worry about it going forward. You are a life saver!!
Wow, that's awesome!
Thank you, sir! I’ll try out these techniques this afternoon.
You're welcome - hope it worked well! 👍
Thank you this helped a lot!
thank you Justin it worked for me, it was like there wasn't any background noise at all
You're welcome - so glad it worked! 😃
Thanks so much for this. Really helped me save a ton of time. I used the free version of Adobe Premiere Rush to edit the fixed audio into my video clips. Thanks again!
You’re welcome - so glad it helped 🙏
Thanks mate, easy and useful instructions
You're welcome - glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Great topic Bro & thanks for this!
Thanks! No probs!! 😊
Thanks alot!
And what I like the most is that you can install Audacity even if you don't have admin permission as they have an option to download as a .zip file that is ready to being used!
No problem!
OMG, you made this so easy, my ASMR was pretty good providing that I recorded at night when everyone was asleep. But now I can record any time of day and I no longer have to wait for everyone to go to bed to make my videos. I did a mock test with my loud air conditioner in the background and I did a whisper test and all you could hear was just my ASMR whispering!! I am Sooooo happy! Excited to create even better quality content.
Wow, all the best on your upcoming videos! 😀
@@PrimalVideo thanks :)
Justin,
Thanks so much for all of your helpful videos. I'm having a problem installing the FFMpeg plugin. Mac OS is telling me that the developer cannot be identified and I can go no further. Can you offer any assistance?

HI Justin. This is a great video and very helpful for me. I have one more questions about how about sometimes there is no constant background noises but some sudden background noises occurs for a short period of time during the when I am talking, which cannot be reshoot. How can we apply background noise reduction to that particular area without affecting my voice recording during that part?. Thanks.
the best you could do would be to follow the same process here, but only apply it to the affected area. It wouldn’t be perfect, but it could save your audio
I recommend this video it really helped me to get rid of the background noise. Also the pinned comment helped me too you should also try it
So glad it helped 😊
Thanks Justin often l have needed a program for this and this looks perfect as the built in, in the editing program is really not that great.
No problem! We find this method gets better results than the built in noise reduction options too :)
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Question: does it remove multiple background noise and sound effects
I know most video game trailers and movies has this theme music or song playing in the background which is not gonna be released on any music streaming services
nor is it ever going to be the official song to be released at all i found one song but it has those background noise.
Thank you so much for this video... 🇳🇬
You are life saver. Thanks so much
Wow, that's amazing! You're welcome Jasmine! 😊
thanks for this video Justin! :)
No problem! 😊
great video thanks learned today how to remove background noise properly. big thanks
Awesome - glad you made it here 😊
Nice job!! I haven’t used Audacity for that yet. I use iMovie for any background noise right now. TFS!!
Cheers Nikki! 😊
Please tell me how to remove background sound in iMovie I beg you
Thx for the help really enjoyed it
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed this vid 😄
hey I just want to say thank you finally something that actually works 😅
Glad it worked 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
Thanks so much for this video, you´re a life saver!
You're welcome - see you on the next video Emma! 😊
Great video. Trying to use Audacity today but the FFmpg library website is not loading... super annoying.
Thank you, Justin! I have two identical mics (USB Blue Yetis).. One I use for voice overs and the other on my desk in my video that is fed directly to the camera via an audio cable. The VO mic sounds perfect every time, but I discovered that my A/C adapter that is plugged into my camera is causing a hum (for which I am going to order ferrite cores for the cables to help with that) and I will plug it into a separate outlet from now on so it is by itself. Also, the HDMI cable plugged into the camera for an external monitor also causes a hum (in which I unplugged but I would love to see what I am doing if need be). Grrrr. I just figured this all out last night. So, with your help, and Audacity, I will be able to reduce the noise on my host segments until my other solutions are in place. Wish me luck!
You're welcome - glad we're able to help! All the best! 👍
@@PrimalVideo I used Audacity and your technique, WOW! It worked like a charm. Thank you again!
Do you know how to magnify sound on an iPad for very faint sounds on the iPad . I do spirit contact and sometimes the responses are very faint and I need to make it bigger to hear it clearly
Can you give us an explanation of what the sensitivity and noise reduction and bands is?
Great video 👍 Makes me remember 1 of d first video you did on primal video🤗
Thanks Vidline! Yep, it was definitely time for an update! 😊
