Podcast noise removal
Use case: removing noise from podcasts for consistent, intelligible speech.
Problem
- room echo: reflective rooms add reverberation that smears consonants and reduces intelligibility
- background sounds: HVAC, computer fans, street noise, and intermittent handling noise mask dialogue
Noise reduction outcome
- reduced echo tail where possible without introducing pumping artifacts
- lower background noise floor between phrases while preserving speech transients
- more stable perceived loudness after cleanup and leveling
