Play the munching and chips recordings and switch to the cleaned take mid-bite. Then upload your own file and find a sentence spoken while chewing.
In the munching recording, overall quality went from 2.62 to 3.39, background from 2.73 to 4.23, and naturalness from 2.39 to 4.62. Crunching chips, a louder eating sound, is next to it.

Which chewing sounds can be removed?
Chewing is wet and close to the mic. It drops between words, and much of it drops under them too.
Munching while talking
A snack during a stream or a call. The chewing drops and the voice stays natural.
Hear the recordingGum and mouth clicks
Small clicks and smacks close to the mic. We have not tested them on their own; check a few in the preview.
Sipping and swallowing
Not tested. Gulps and slurps from a drink between sentences are close to chewing, so check one in the preview.
Why remove chewing noise with EraseNoise?
Chewing sits right next to the voice in time and pitch. A gate cannot separate them; a speech model can.
No cutting by hand
You do not trim every bite. Upload the recording once.
The voice stays natural
In our sample naturalness rose from 2.39 to 4.62.
The picture stays
A mukbang or a stream VOD comes back as MP4 with the same frames.
What should I listen for once the chewing is gone?
Listen to the sentences spoken with food in the mouth.
Words spoken while chewing
The chewing drops, but a mumbled word stays mumbled. The cleanup does not change how the word was said.
Breaths and mouth noise
Heavy breathing close to the mic is a related sound.
EraseNoise vs other ways to remove chewing noise
Chewing sits right next to the voice, so gates and cuts struggle.
| Option | Works best when | Falls short when |
|---|---|---|
| EraseNoise | Someone chews between and under sentences for a whole stream | A word is mumbled through a full mouth |
| A noise gate | The chewing happens only in silence | The chewing overlaps the words |
| Cutting in an editor | A few bites fall in pauses | The snack lasts the whole episode |
| Muting the mic while eating | You stream or record live and can press a key | The recording is already done |

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove chewing noise from audio?
Upload the recording with the chewing at the top of the page and play the free 30-second preview against the original. Download the full file only if the chewing is lower and the voice still sounds natural.
How well does EraseNoise remove chewing?
On a real recording of someone munching while talking, from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, EraseNoise raised DNSMOS overall quality from 2.62 to 3.39 out of 5 and the background score from 2.73 to 4.23. NISQA naturalness went from 2.39 to 4.62, the voice clearer after the chewing dropped.
Will EraseNoise fix words spoken with a full mouth?
No. The chewing drops, but the word stays as it was said. If a key line is mumbled, re-record it.
Will EraseNoise remove mouth clicks?
We have not tested mouth clicks on their own. Short smacks between words are close to the chewing that dropped in our sample; clicks on top of words may stay, so check the preview.
How long does EraseNoise take to clean a recording with chewing?
Processing time depends on how long the recording with chewing is: as a guide, a 5-minute video takes 10 to 60 seconds. The free 30-second preview of the recording with chewing uses no paid minutes, so you can judge it first.
How large can a stream VOD be, and how many free previews are there?
Files up to 2 GB. You get the 30-second preview free 3 times per 24 hours without an account and 20 times with one. Cleaning the full VOD costs whole minutes, rounded up, minimum 1.
