In the dishwasher recording, overall quality went from 2.57 to 3.14, background from 2.89 to 4.14, and naturalness from 1.94 to 4.18. An air conditioner, another steady home appliance, is next to it. Scores are DNSMOS and NISQA predictions on a 1–5 scale for real dishwasher and related appliance recordings from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, processed with no hand edits.

Which appliance noise can be removed?
Appliances make a steady hum with some sloshing or rattling on top. The hum is the easiest part to remove.
A dishwasher mid-cycle
The hum and the spray behind a call or a video. In our sample, both dropped and the voice stayed natural.
Hear the recordingA washing machine or dryer
We have not tested one. It is a steady motor and drum like a dishwasher, but a spin cycle rattles more, so check the preview.
A fridge or a freezer hum
Not tested directly. A fridge is a low, steady hum like the air conditioner we tested, which went from 3.48 to 4.55 for naturalness.
Read the AC noise guideA hood fan or a heater
A blowing machine sounds like a fan, and fans cleaned well in our tests.
Remove fan noiseWhy remove dishwasher noise with EraseNoise?
A dishwasher changes as the cycle runs, so a noise profile from one minute does not fit the next.
No noise profile needed
You do not need a gap with only the dishwasher in it. Upload the file.
Hum and slosh together
The steady motor and the irregular spray are lowered in one pass.
Audio or video, one upload
A voice file comes back as WAV, a video as MP4 with the same picture.
How do I check a voice after the hum is gone?
A quiet gap is not the test. Listen to the voice.
A low voice that sounds thinner
A hum shares the low range with a deep voice. If it sounds thin, turn the Noise reduction control down.
Rattles during the spin
Loud rattles that land on words can leave a trace. Check one in the preview.
EraseNoise vs other ways to remove dishwasher noise
A dishwasher is steadier than most home noise, so more methods work.
| Option | Works best when | Falls short when |
|---|---|---|
| EraseNoise | The cycle changes during the take and there is no quiet gap | A very deep voice shares the low hum |
| Audacity Noise Reduction | The hum is steady and you can select a second of it alone | The spray and sloshing change through the cycle |
| Waiting for the cycle to end | You can pause the recording for an hour | The call or the take is already done |
| Re-recording the line | Only one line matters | The meeting happened once |

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove dishwasher noise from audio?
Upload the file recorded with the dishwasher running and listen to the free 30-second preview against the original. Download the full file only if the hum is lower and the voice still sounds natural.
How well does EraseNoise remove a dishwasher?
On a real dishwasher recording from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, EraseNoise raised DNSMOS overall quality from 2.57 to 3.14 out of 5 and the background score from 2.89 to 4.14. NISQA naturalness went from 1.94 to 4.18. An air conditioner, the other home appliance we tested, went from 3.48 to 4.55 for naturalness.
Will EraseNoise remove a washing machine?
We have not tested a washing machine. Its steady motor and drum are close to the dishwasher we tested, but a loud spin cycle rattles more, so check the free preview first.
Is a fridge hum the same as electrical hum?
No. A fridge hum is a motor, which this page handles. A 50 or 60 Hz tone from cables or a ground loop is electrical hum; use the buzz and hum page.
How long does EraseNoise take to clean a recording with an appliance running?
Processing time depends on how long the recording with an appliance running is: as a guide, a 5-minute video takes 10 to 60 seconds. The free 30-second preview of the recording with an appliance running uses no paid minutes, so you can judge it first.
How big can the file be, and how many free previews do I get with an appliance recording?
A file can be up to 2 GB. Without an account the 30-second preview is free 3 times per 24 hours, with an account 20 times. The full file is billed in started minutes, with a minimum of 1.
