When you want to remove background noise, AI noise reduction may lower steady sounds around an understandable voice.

Saved audio and video
Remove Background Noise from Seven Supported Formats
Remove background noise from a compatible saved file instead of installing a live microphone filter. Noise Cleaner accepts four audio containers and three video containers.
- Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC
- Upload a compatible speech recording to remove background noise, then compare the original and cleaned audio before using the result in an edit, podcast, lesson, interview, or voiceover.
- Video: MP4, MOV, WEBM
- Remove background noise from video without manually exporting the default audio track. For compatible input, Noise Cleaner retains the original video stream and replaces the processed audio track.
- Compatibility is checked first
- Before Noise Cleaner can remove background noise, the file must match the current container and channel-layout policy. Actual acceptance also depends on the authenticated account byte limit shown by the uploader; incompatible files are rejected instead of silently downmixed or changed.

Frequently asked questions
Understand how to remove background noise, what to upload, and which limits matter for your recording.
Noise Cleaner is designed for saved recordings with speech, including podcasts, voiceovers, interviews, voice memos, recorded meetings, lessons, and talking-head videos. It processes uploaded files; it is not a live-call or livestream filter.
Results depend on the source. Steady fan or equipment noise, microphone hiss, light room tone, and some outdoor wind or rain may be reduced when speech is still understandable. Variable or speech-overlapping noise may remain, so always compare the original and cleaned result.
Yes. Use it on a saved podcast recording before final editing and mastering, and review every speaker in the original and cleaned files. Noise Cleaner does not mix or master the episode.
For compatible MP4, MOV, and WEBM files, Noise Cleaner copies the original video stream and replaces the cleaned default audio track. Incompatible media or output combinations are rejected instead of being silently changed.
Noise Cleaner can process a saved meeting, lecture, lesson, course, or presentation recording after the session ends. It does not provide real-time meeting noise suppression or filter a live microphone.
Noise Cleaner accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, MP4, MOV, and WEBM when the media layout and current container policy are compatible. Actual acceptance also depends on the current file-size limit shown by the uploader.
No. Noise Cleaner does not claim echo removal, speaker separation, voice isolation, content classification, or perfect restoration. Strong room reflections, overlapping voices, clipping, or speech already masked by noise may remain.
