How do I check the breathing before I pay?

Play these three real recordings and switch between the original and the cleaned version. Listen between the words, where the breathing was loudest. Your own upload gets the same free 30-second comparison before you pay.

Three real recordings with breathing, munching, or crunching chips close to the mic. On the breathing sample, naturalness went from 3.03 to 4.90 out of 5, the highest result of all 24 recordings we tested.

Which breathing can be lowered?

Breathing becomes noise when it is loud, close to the mic, and keeps going under the voice.

Heavy breathing at the mic

A headset mic close to the nose picks up every breath, and the breathing runs under the words.

Hear the breathing recording

Chewing and crunching

Someone eating during a call. In our munching sample the background score went from 2.73 to 4.23.

Hear the munching recording

Breathing after exercise

A workout video or a walk-and-talk where the speaker is out of breath.

Inhales between sentences

Normal breaths between sentences get quieter, but they are not cut out. To remove each one, edit the timeline by hand.

Why choose EraseNoise to remove breathing from audio

You do not mark every breath. Upload the recording and listen.

No breath-by-breath editing

A de-breath plug-in or a gate needs tuning for each voice. Here you hear the result in 30 seconds.

The timing stays

Nothing is cut, so the recording keeps its length and stays in sync with any video.

Real samples to judge

Hear breathing, munching, and crunching samples above before you upload anything.

When is this faster than a breath editor?

When the breathing is noise under the voice, not single breaths you want to delete.

Breathing under the words

A breath editor cannot cut what overlaps a word. A cleanup lowers it.

A long recording

An hour of heavy breathing is hundreds of edits. One upload handles all of them.

Which files can I upload?

Upload the recording as it is.

MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, or FLAC

Audio files download as WAV.

MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM

A video downloads as MP4 with the same picture.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove breathing from audio?

Upload the recording at the top of this page and compare a 30-second preview, original and cleaned. Download the full file only if the breathing is lower and the voice sounds the same.

Does it delete the breaths between sentences?

No. It lowers breath noise, but it does not cut breaths out of the timeline. To delete each inhale, edit the recording by hand or use a breath plug-in.

Can I remove chewing and mouth sounds?

Chewing and crunching under a voice dropped in our tests. In the munching sample, naturalness went from 2.39 to 4.62 out of 5.

Will the recording get shorter?

No. Nothing is cut, so the length stays the same and a video stays in sync.

You can hear the 30-second preview 3 times in 24 hours without an account, and 20 times in 24 hours after you sign in. The upload limit is 2 GB. The full file is billed in whole minutes, rounded up, with a minimum of 1 minute.
