How do I check dishwasher noise before I pay?

Play the dishwasher and air-conditioner recordings and switch between the raw and cleaned take mid-cycle. Then upload your own file and run 30 seconds of it free.

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 recording

A 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 guide

A hood fan or a heater

A blowing machine sounds like a fan, and fans cleaned well in our tests.

Why 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.

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

A recorded call from the kitchen downloads as WAV.

MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM

A video with appliance noise downloads as MP4 with the same picture.

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.
