Audio Noise Remover

Audio Noise Remover

Remove background noise from any audio file automatically. Upload an MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, or AAC file, choose your noise reduction level, and download a clean, clear track. No audio engineering skills required.

Background hiss, wind, traffic, and hum ruin otherwise usable recordings. Audio Noise Remover cleans up your files in one pass, giving you speech and music that sounds like it was recorded in a quiet room. It works on podcasts, interviews, field recordings, video voiceovers, and any other audio you upload.

Troubleshooting

The processed file still has some background noise.

Try running the file again with a higher noise reduction level. If the noise is not steady (like intermittent clicks or bangs), the Actor may not remove it completely.

The output audio sounds distorted or robotic.

The noise reduction level may be too high for your recording. Reprocess the file on a lower setting, or enable 'Preserve Original Quality' to use a higher bitrate.

My file failed to process.

Check that the file URL is publicly accessible and the format is supported. If the file is very large, try a shorter clip. Corrupt audio files will also fail.

The download link expired.

Download links from Apify runs are available for a limited time. Re-run the Actor with the same input to generate a fresh link.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What audio formats can I upload?	You can upload MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, AAC, and most other common audio formats. The Actor detects the format automatically.
How long does processing take?	Processing time depends on the length of your audio file and the noise reduction level you choose. Most files finish within a few minutes.
Will noise reduction affect the voices or music?	Low and medium settings remove steady background noise while keeping voices and music intact. High reduction is more aggressive and may slightly alter the original sound.
Can I process more than one file at a time?	Yes. Upload multiple files in the audio file URLs field and the Actor will process each one and return separate download links.
What is the difference between the noise reduction levels?	Low removes subtle noise and preserves the most original character. Medium is a balanced setting that works for most recordings. High removes as much noise as possible and works best on very noisy files.
Does this work for live streaming audio?	No. This Actor processes uploaded audio files, not live streams. You need a recorded file to upload.
What output formats can I get?	You can choose MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, or AAC. The default is MP3.
Will I lose audio quality?	You can enable the 'Preserve Original Quality' option to use a higher bitrate. Without it, the Actor uses a standard bitrate to keep file sizes smaller.
Is there a file size limit?	The Actor accepts files up to the Apify platform upload limit. Very large files may take longer to process.
Can I use this to remove music and keep only speech?	This Actor removes steady background noise like hiss, hum, and wind. It is not a music removal or vocal isolation tool.
