How do I check mouse clicks before I pay?
Play the click and typing recordings side by side and switch each to the cleaned take. Then upload your own file and find a sentence spoken while clicking.
In the mouse clicks recording, overall quality went from 3.13 to 3.43, background from 3.94 to 4.22, and naturalness from 2.72 to 4.04. Keyboard typing, a weaker case, is next to it so you can hear the difference. Scores are DNSMOS and NISQA predictions on a 1–5 scale for real mouse-click and related desk recordings from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, processed with no hand edits.

Which clicks can be removed?
A click is very short and sharp. Clicks drop well, especially between words.
Mouse clicks while talking
A screen-recorded tutorial or a stream. The clicks drop and the narration stays natural.
Hear the recordingGaming mice and rapid clicking
Rapid clicking in a game is many short clicks in a row. We tested ordinary clicks, not a gaming burst, so check a busy stretch in the preview.
Keyboard typing
Typing on top of words is a weak case: in our sample overall quality barely moved, 2.63 to 2.70.
Read the keyboard noise guideWhy remove mouse click noise with EraseNoise?
A tutorial can have hundreds of clicks. Cutting them out is slower than the recording.
No click-by-click editing
Upload the file once and the clicks are lowered.
The screen stays
A screen recording comes back as MP4 with the same frames.
The timing stays
Nothing is cut, so the narration stays in sync with the cursor.
What should I check in the busiest stretch of clicking?
Listen to the busiest stretch of clicking.
Clicks on top of words
A click that lands on a consonant can leave a trace. Check one in the preview.
Typing mixed in
If the recording also has typing over words, that part improves less.
EraseNoise vs other ways to remove mouse clicks
Clicks are very short, so the choice depends on how many there are.
| Option | Works best when | Falls short when |
|---|---|---|
| EraseNoise | Clicks run through a whole tutorial or VOD | Heavy typing sits on top of the words |
| Audacity Noise Reduction | Rarely: a click is too short to profile | The clicks come at random |
| Cutting in an editor | A few clicks fall between sentences in audio-only work | Cutting would desync the cursor on screen |
| A quieter mouse | You record tutorials every week | The recording is already done |
Which screen and stream recordings can I upload?
Upload the tutorial, VOD, or demo as exported, up to 2 GB.
MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, or FLAC
A narration track recorded next to the mouse downloads as WAV.
MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM
A screen recording or a stream VOD downloads as MP4 with the same picture.

On a real recording from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, EraseNoise raised NISQA naturalness from 2.72 to 4.04 out of 5, the DNSMOS background score from 3.94 to 4.22, and overall quality from 3.13 to 3.43. Clicks between words dropped most; keyboard typing on top of words is the weaker case.
