How do I check a crying baby before I pay?

Play the baby recording and switch between the original and the cleaned take while the crying is loudest. Then upload your own file and pick a sentence the baby talked over.

In the baby recording, overall quality went from 2.10 to 3.27, background from 2.26 to 4.04, and naturalness from 3.37 to 4.70. A barking dog, the other common sound at home, is next to it. Scores are DNSMOS and NISQA predictions on a 1–5 scale for real crying-baby and related home recordings from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, processed with no hand edits.

Which baby sounds can be removed?

A baby is a voice too, but not speech. It drops best when the speaker is closer to the mic than the baby.

A baby in the next room

Crying through a door during a call or an episode. The speaker is closer than the baby, which is the easiest case.

Hear the recording

Babbling and fussing

Softer than the crying we tested and often in the pauses. Expect it to drop at least as well, and check the preview.

A baby on the speaker’s lap

A baby right at the mic is as loud as the voice. The cleanup helps, but check the preview closely.

Toddlers talking

A toddler saying words is speech, and the model keeps speech. Expect some of it to stay.

Why remove baby noise with EraseNoise?

A cry rises and falls over many seconds, so cutting it out cuts the speaker too.

No cutting by hand

You do not find and trim every cry. Upload the recording once.

The voice sounds the same

In our sample naturalness rose from 3.37 to 4.70, so the speaker did not come out processed.

The words stay in place

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

What should I check after the crying is lowered?

Listen to the sentences the baby talked over.

Loud crying on words

A scream on a word can leave that word rough. Re-record that line if it matters.

A toddler’s words

If a child spoke real words, some may stay. That is the model keeping speech.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove a baby crying from audio?

Upload the recording with the baby in it at the top of the page and compare the free 30-second preview with the original. Download the full file only if the crying is lower and the words are clear.

How well does EraseNoise remove a baby?

On a real recording with a baby crying, from the Microsoft DNS Challenge test set, EraseNoise raised DNSMOS overall quality from 2.10 to 3.27 out of 5 and the background score from 2.26 to 4.04. NISQA naturalness went from 3.37 to 4.70, so the speaker sounded more natural once the crying dropped.

Will EraseNoise remove a toddler talking?

Not fully. Words are speech, and the model keeps speech. Crying and babbling drop more than words do.

Can I clean a wedding or family video?

Yes. Wedding and family videos in MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM are accepted, and you get back an MP4 with the same footage. Music in the video will be lowered too.

Can EraseNoise mute a crying baby on a live call?

No. EraseNoise works on saved recordings only. On a call in progress, turn on the noise suppression in Zoom, Teams, or Discord, or use Krisp.

How long does EraseNoise take to clean a family recording?

Processing time depends on how long the family recording is: as a guide, a 5-minute video takes 10 to 60 seconds. The free 30-second preview of the family recording uses no paid minutes, so you can judge it first.

How long can a family video be, and how many free previews do I get?

Up to 2 GB per file. Without an account you can play 3 free 30-second previews in 24 hours, and 20 with one. The full video is billed by the started minute, minimum 1 minute.
