It is an annoying thing to find that noises are appearing in the video clips that you recorded, and noises seem like an unavoidable problem if you need to capture a vlog outside. A serious rumble or drone will destroy the video clip, and you will need to record it again or remove all the background music to solve it. So here comes the question, are there any ways to remove background noise from video and keep the human voice at the same time? Read it on, and learn the best methods that can perfectly denoise your video.

Method 1. Denoise your video using TunesKit AceMovi Video Editor

To remove background noise from videos, a powerful and professional video editor is necessary. Here, I recommend TunesKit AceMovi — a multifunctional and one-stop video editing program that comes with the feature like audio, filter, stickers, text, transitions, animations, and so on. No matter you are a video editing novice or expert, you can remove background noise from videos easily using TunesKit AceMovi. Let’s see the step-by-step tutorial.

Import your media to TunesKit AceMovi

You can import your local video files by clicking the Import button, or dragging and dropping them to the TunesKit library directly. TunesKit AceMovi supports mainstream video formats like AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, WMV, etc. Or you can import your files via File > Import Media, and choose the video files you want to edit from your local file. When you import your video to TunesKit AceMovi successfully, please drag and drop it to the timeline.

Detach audio

Right-click the media files on the timeline, and hit the Detach audio button. And now, you can customize the audio on the top-right panel. The volume, pitch, fade in, fade out, denoise and style are able to adjust as you want.

Remove the background noise

There is a Denoise option on the top-right panel, slide the slider to the right until the background noises are disappeared. In addition, TunesKit AceMovi enables users to use the built-in audio equalizer to remove background noise from video.

Export video

When you remove background noise from a video successfully, don’t forget to export your video. Click the export button and choose one of the formats you want to export in the pop-up window.

Method 2. Mute the video and Record new audio to replace it

The other choice for you to remove background noise from a video is to replace it with new audio. You can use the built-in recorder to record a new voiceover or music and replace it with the original background of your video. In fact, it is an impossible job to remove all the noise like car whistle, wind wuthering, or pitter-patter. Hence, using another voiceover or background music to mask the noise is also an alternative way to remove background noise from video.

Click the video you had imported into TunesKit AceMovi, and adjust its volume to zero. Then, drag and drop the new audio to another track to cover the original soundtrack.

Method 3. Remove background noise using Audacity

Audacity is a dedicated, free, and open-source audio editing program with basic audio editing features like repair, repeat, change pitch, change speed, and so on. And you can remove background noise from video or audio using Audacity easily. Let’s see how to make it step by step.

Step 1: Import your audio file to Audacity. Click the File tab on the top toolbar, and select the Open option. Choose the MP3 or FFmpeg file you want to remove the noise and import it to Audacity.

Step 2: Select the part of your audio that contains serious noise, then hit on the Effect tab on the top toolbar. Choose the Noise Reduction feature. You can reselect the part you want to denoise by clicking the Get Noise Profile. You can slide the slider or enter a number to adjust the Noise Reduction, Sensitivity, and Frequency smoothing.

Step 3: Finally, click the File tab and export the denoise audio. You can export your audio as MP3, WAV, OGG in Audacity. You can export a selected part of the audio instead of the whole audio.

Method 4. Remove background noise from video online
