How do I compare the original and cleaned audio?
Need to remove background noise from audio or video? Hear the first 30 seconds of your own file, original and cleaned. No studio tricks. Compare them before you pay.
Original
The opening of your recording, with the wind, fan, or hum still in it.
Cleaned
The same 30 seconds after the background noise is lowered.
The noise that makes a take hard to use
Most voice recordings fail because a steady sound sits under the speech. The words were fine. The room was not. This is the page to remove background noise from audio when that sound is steady.
Wind
Gusts on a phone or an outdoor talking-head sit on top of the voice. The preview shows whether the words stay clear.
Fan and air conditioning
A fridge, laptop fan, or AC adds a constant whir. Remove background noise from audio here when that whir is the problem.
Traffic
Street wash and passing cars can sit under a window recording. Compare the opening before you process the rest of the file.
Hum and hiss
Electrical buzz and microphone hiss are low and constant. Lowering them helps only if the voice does not turn thin.
Why choose EraseNoise to remove background noise from audio
A desktop editor asks you to learn the software first. EraseNoise asks you to listen to 30 seconds first.
Pay after you hear it
The 30-second preview is free, up to 20 previews per account in 24 hours. The full download uses minutes from Pro or a pack.
A spoken-word cleanup, not a studio suite
It targets steady noise behind speech. Room echo belongs on the echo remover. Long pauses belong on the free silence remover.
A file you can publish
Audio downloads as WAV. Video downloads as MP4 with the same picture and a cleaned soundtrack. There are no captions, cuts, or color changes.
Deleted after 24 hours
The upload and the result are deleted 24 hours after upload. They are not kept as public demos.
Why EraseNoise is faster to try
Faster means fewer steps before you know the voice survived. You can remove background noise from audio before opening a desktop editor. It does not mean the full file finishes instantly.
No noise profile
You do not mark a noise-only region first. Upload the recording and listen. A desktop editor is still the right tool when you need a manual mix.
Judge 30 seconds, not the whole file
The preview is the start of the recording. You can reject a thin-sounding voice before the rest of the minutes are processed.
No app to install
Uploading, comparing, and downloading work in a desktop or phone browser. A preview still requires an EraseNoise account.
What you can upload
The same upload can remove background noise from audio inside a video, then return the picture as MP4.
Video soundtracks, not just audio files
Upload an MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM file when the voice is inside a video. The picture stays. For a video-only job, open Remove Background Noise from Video.
A phone browser is enough
You can upload, preview, pay, and download on a phone. Large files still need a stable connection.

Where to remove background noise from audio
Podcasts and remote interviews
A guest recorded in a kitchen, or a host next to a fan, does not need a new session if the voice is still clear. Upload the voice track, check the opening, and keep the original if the voice loses body.
Talking-head and YouTube videos
Wind, traffic, and room hiss often sit under a direct-to-camera voice. Upload the video here. The download is MP4, with the same picture and no captions or cuts added.
Voice memos, lectures, and phone recordings
Class notes and memos are easier to follow once fan noise, street noise, and electrical hum drop. A distorted, clipped, or music-buried voice cannot be rebuilt.
Which tool to use

| Wind, fan, traffic, or hum behind speech | This page |

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove background noise from audio?
To remove background noise from audio in EraseNoise, upload the recording at the top of this page and compare the first 30 seconds before paying for the full file. Download the full file only if the cleaned voice sounds better than the original.
What noise can EraseNoise lower?
EraseNoise lowers steady noise behind speech, such as wind, fans, traffic, and electrical hum. It is not a dog-bark, music, or vocal-separation tool. Room echo belongs on the Remove Echo from Audio page.
Is the full EraseNoise download free?
No. The 30-second preview is free, up to 20 previews per account in 24 hours. The complete file uses paid minutes. Pro includes 20 hours per month. It is not an unlimited plan. Silence removal is a separate free tool.
Which formats does EraseNoise accept?
Audio uploads can be MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, or FLAC, and the cleaned download is WAV. Video uploads can be MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM, and the download is MP4.
Is this faster than a desktop editor?
It is faster to try. You do not build a noise profile first, and you can judge the opening 30 seconds before processing the rest. Audacity or Premiere Pro still fits when you need a manual mix, keyframes, or a full edit.
What happens to an uploaded file?
EraseNoise deletes the upload and the result automatically 24 hours after upload. Files are not kept as public demos.
Does EraseNoise work without installing software?
Yes. You can remove background noise from audio in a desktop or mobile browser. A preview requires an EraseNoise account, so this is not a no-login tool. You can hear the first 30 seconds before you pay for the full file.
Remove background noise from audio on the next take
Upload one voice file first. Keep the download only if the 30-second preview sounds clearer than the original.
