Noise reduction is the process of removing or reducing unwanted background sounds from an audio recording to improve clarity and listening quality. These unwanted sounds may include hums, hisses, traffic noise, air conditioners, or other environmental distractions. Noise reduction is performed during recording, during editing, or through specialized audio-processing tools.
Noise reduction supports the video creation process before, during, and after recording. It encourages better recording environments and removes distractions to enhance quality. Other benefits to using noise reduction include:
Improving clarity
Enhancing communication
Creating more professional media productions
Supporting accessibility and comprehension
Reducing distractions for audiences
Improving learning experiences
