    Background Noise/Music Louder than Voices


    Hi there, When watching a youtube video I noticed that the voices were barely audible and the background music/sounds were unbearably loud. I thought this was just down to their editing, but after checking other videos and devices I noticed it isn't that at all. I hunted for an answer on my own but none of the suggesting sound fixes worked. I also noticed, when checking if my device was stereo, that the left/right dedicated sounds are mixed and not separated at all. As someone who struggles with sensory issues it isn't too great and I'd love some sort of solution so I can continue using my dev

    :)

    Software to separate noise from the human voice or song

    For audio, you could try Audacity. You can select a sample period where there is just the noise you want to remove, then filter that from the audio.

    E90 - Headphones - background noise

    Hi all,

    I got the following strange problem...

    When listening to music with the music player (or radio) with the headset delivered by Nokia the sound is clear. No background noise, just the music. Volume is fine too.

    If using my own headphones with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter things are getting weird. The music is played two or three times louder. Even on 10% of the volume it is too loud. Additional, there is some kind of background noise. It seems, that the enhancement profile
    for the headphones is some kind misconfigured to have a too high default volume setting.

    Anyone got the same troubles? Any solutions? Ideas?

    Regards,

    Jeran

    Background Noise/Music Louder than Voices

    Software to separate noise from the human voice or song

    @Bree Thanks for your help up to now. Background Noise/Music Louder than Voices :) I did something to the file finally as follows:

    1- Using FFmpeg extracted the audio file (.mp3) of the video file (.avi)
    2- Ran the app and opened the .mp3 file
    3- Selected an amount of 8 seconds on the wave and followed the other steps of the page you'd previously offered.
    4- But in the Noise Reduction window, Step 2, I set the parameters as in the image below:

    5- Selected the entire track by "ctrl + A"
    6- Once again Effect -> Noise Reduction (There's no Noise Removal as is written in the link above!)
    7- Pressed OK. And exported the audio file as a new .mp3 file.

    Have I gone through the appropriate process correctly up to here, please?

    Then I compared that new file to the first one to see the real effect. The selected noise has properly been reduced fortunately on the whole track, but there is some annoying case, and it is, the real voices of the individuals in the track have also been rather influenced improperly, making it less comprehensible. I think this unwanted side-effect can be solved by using the parameters of the Noise Reduction window right.

    Since you've experience with the task, will you tell me what the best solution is for that, please?
