I seriously recommend Krisp.ai. We have 4 dogs and they'll bark right next to me in my office while I'm on meetings and nobody can hear them at all. Pretty crazy how well it works
Get yourself a pair of noise-canceling headphones and look into using the free version of Krisp
I’m sorry, OP :(
Noise canceling headphones work to cut the sound out of your headphones, but your mic picks it up and your meeting attendees still can and likely do hear it.
Check out the app called Krisp, it’s software that works with Zoom that taps into your mic’s audio (in) and adds active noice cancelling via ai. It can cut out background sounds at varying levels of severity (barks, room tone, music, baby cries, whatever.) Works quite well, I’ve used it for about a year now.
Se usas windows, esta app cancela o ruido mesmo que o cão esteja ao teu lado: https://krisp.ai/
Se quiseres mesmo calar o cão, e se ladrar com muita frequência, tenta chamar a polícia.
The company was founded in 2017 by Davit Baghdasaryan (CEO) and Artavazd Minasyan (President). It's based in both Yerevan and Berkeley. According to Baghdasaryan, the team in Yerevan develops the technology, and the team in Berkeley is focused on business and sales.
On the question of how such a rapidly growing business can keep finding qualified employees in Armenia, Minasyan says this: https://iamyerevan.com/krisp-nice-to-hear-you/ >There are a few solutions to this. Firstly, we should invest in the Armenian education system. For example, we have opened a laboratory within the faculty of Mathematics at Yerevan State University. Besides this, we are also cooperating with Russian-Armenian University, and plan to open the next laboratory within the faculty of Physics. By the way, all the money received from WCIT will be invested in these laboratories. The second option is remote working. We already have six remote employees from different parts of the world including the USA, Serbia, Russia, etc. The third option would be attracting Armenians living abroad. We are in contact with some of the best specialists from Diaspora and we are trying to inspire them to come back and join our team. And last, but not least, we are going to work in other countries to find the manpower we need.
Forbes named Krisp as one of the 20 rising stars of cloud computing: https://krisp.ai/blog/krisp-in-forbes-cloud-100-list/
I use RTX Voice regularly and tried Krisp before I could use RTX Voice. From my experience, unless Krisp improved drastically over the last year or so, RTX Voice is way better.
You are probably referring to this which ist a test by the Krisp.ai people about which program is better
There are softwares that cut out background noise in real time. Something like Krisp might work. I've never tried it, but it's on my to-do list. https://krisp.ai/ https://youtu.be/hrQ_2JhEKpY
You can also invest in microphones that limit background noise, usually by ignoring certain frequencies or being very specific about which direction and how close it needs to be to the source. My old mic used to be good at filtering out regular chirping noises but would clearly pick up his speaking voice from across the room.
Microsoft DirectML and DXR are the future, not RTX and DLSS. RTX voice can be had for free, right now through OBS. Ray tracing in one game really isn't that important. Ansel is a rip off of reshade. Freesync 2 premium is as good as gsync. Shadowplay is crap compared to OBS.
I owned a GTX 1060 for YEARS, and most of the time didn't even have the gforce experience installed for a reason.
Krisp is superior to RTX voice, it's not the free option though (only 120mins free per week, otherwise $5/month). RTX voice is a resource hog compared to Krisp, and also the OBS alternative I believe.
Uma outra opção (talvez para outras situações) é bloquear os ruídos via software. Vou sugerir pro caso de você passar na entrevista e ter que trabalhar de casa — ou seja, não vai poder ir num lugar calmo todos os dias, então precisará de mais opções contra o barulho, mais pra frente.
Usei este programa para trabalhar remotamente (equipe de diversos países, então a necessidade de áudio sem ruído era maior ainda). Diversos colegas gostaram quando demonstrei o bom funcionamento, mesmo com barulhos de reforma no vizinho, e passaram a usar também:
A depender do seu hardware e sistema operacional, há opções tão boas quanto, e 100% gratuitas (o Krisp ė "freemium"): https://alternativeto.net/software/krisp/
Sugiro buscar vídeos no YouTube com testes para ter ideia de como funcionam.
Honestly noise cancelling headphones really don't cut down on background noise and if they do they can get really pricey. I work for a remote company and some of our team use https://krisp.ai/ to reduce background noise on calls and it seems to work pretty well, so might be worth a try.
You will need to choose if you want wired or wireless. If wired will do, Logitech/Jabra have good options. For wireless you might have to spend more for better options.
https://www.soundguys.com/ Use this to search for reviews, they include a microphone sample which is great to see how the mic sounds.
For hearing stuff if you are in a place with lot of background noise, noise cancellation will help but a good set will cost you more(10K+)
Another option is to ask if your company can use https://krisp.ai/, mine pays for it and the difference is great esp if you use Zoom/Meet.
there's a setting on zoom that allows you to cut out background noise while having your microphone and camera on. Heres a link that might help: https://krisp.ai/blog/zoom-noise-reduction/
Good luck!!
I know the feeling. Have a look at this program to cancel out noise from your microphone: https://krisp.ai/
I combine this with my AirPods Pro for noise cancelling, and it's like no one else is around
This thing is meant for use on conference calls / video chats but it installs a virtual microphone and speaker device so you may be able to play the recording through it and capture the cleaned up audio.
A colleague installed it while we're all working from home and I was pretty impressed with the improvement.
In the meantime Krisp works well enough but you might notice a bigger drop in quality.
When I tried it, the mechanical keyboard noises were 100% gone, so the trade off might be worth it.
As a person who recently bought my first house after apartment jumping for years, I feel you on every level.
What kind of computer are you using? There are some softwares out there you can install to help limit background noise during video calls in real time. Krisp is a good one to try.
Hey! What you're looking for is noise reduction. Our API doesn't explicitly do noise reduction - on the web, we rely on the browser's implementation of NR to perform that task, if the developer wants it.
Several companies are doing amazing work in the computational audio noise reduction space. A couple examples: Check out RTX Voice and Krisp.
Noise reduction does introduce audible artifacts in the output audio sometimes, so it doesn't yield the highest quality sound. However, it might beat trying to huddle around a mic in your closet! 😂
As for what you're doing with spatial effects - that is fantastic. We need more folks producing content like you!
Apologies as I am on mobile but I would check out this post and see if any of those options work. I use Krisp for desktop but they are no longer supporting the phone app. Denoise may work though. Hope that helps!

krisp.ai - This is essentially what I am looking for, what this does for skype calls, when I use this microphone on Discord, most of the background/ambient sound is cut out.
I don't know what to call it, but I never knew they had it until using this microphone and hearing this difference.
I came across this thread while googling this topic, and just realized that you can use the krisp app to achieve the same effect, although it's a bit limited on its free plan though (240 mins per week)
Já pensou em utilizar apps que cancelam os ruídos? Eu uso o Krisp e pra mim as 4horas/semana da versão free são o suficiente Mas depois de usar por tanto tempo eu não pensaria 2x em pagar 5doleta/mes na versão ilimitada caso precisasse.
>Playing with audio through a speaker and using a mic is most of the time a bad idea because other players might hear that and find that very annoying.
This is why I made a post about using krisp.ai in combination with the microphone built into the Stadia controller. Or, have some sort of key combo act as a Push-to-Talk.
Either way, a headset sucks compared to a good sound system. No contest whatsoever. Surround headsets are no substitute, as they almost invariably barely give any surround effect.
The only real solution, right now, is to fire up Discord on your phone, turn on in-app Krisp, and stick the phone into your shirt pocket, microphone facing up. Nobody will be able to hear even the blaring sound coming out of your speaker. But it'll pick up your voice, and filter it out from the noise. No push-to-talk necessary. And you can hear what everyone says.
Why this functionality isn't just built into the Stadia controller is beyond me. The need for this sort of thing has been obvious for a long time, it's not new. You don't even need multiple microphones or anything. Just the one that's already in the Stadia controller is enough.
Whether you're better off with a ceiling mic or can get away with a bar is heavily dependent upon the room size and acoustics. A thought for you: extraneous noises become not-so-relevant with an OUTSTANDING noise removal algorithm. Those are now here. If you haven't heard it, check out Krisp.ai It's magic and can sit between any audio input and Zoom/whatever. Biamp is releasing a bar in the next few months that has a similar algorithm built right in. Shure has been demo'ing a similar feature for some products, but I don't know if that's shipping yet.
This is exactly what I wanted - a comfortable headset with good ANC and the ability to block out noise on my end. So far the best results I got from using a combination of Sony XM3 with a wired V-Moda BoomPro mic and Krisp noise suppression software installed on my laptop. Krisp.ai is the site, they give you 4 hour of noise suppression per week for free, the paid tier with unlimited noise suppression is $5 a month paid yearly in advance. Just tested this today and it worked great - my teammates couldn't hear anything but my voice while my partner was on a call too using speakerphone in the same room with me. I really like the combo since the XM3 is very comfortable for long calls, has great ANC and with the V-Moda mic it can use the mic's wire, so works even without being powered up (but you loose ANC if use it this way).
I am considering getting a wireless version of Antlion Modmic, but still undecided since the convenience of not having a wire is also an inconvenience since I will have to make sure both the headset and the mic are charged up. Also, although generally good, the wireless connection is not as stable as a simple wired one. The wireless Antlion modmic also has slightly inferior sound quality compared to the wired version, most likely due to compression.
Ideally, I would love to see the next iteration of Apple Airpods Pro Max to come with Ultra Wide Band connectivity (hopefully, PC dongles will also be available at some point). If they do it right, the sheer bandwidth of the UWB connection should allow for much better mic pickup quality since you won't have to fight for the measly 2mbps or whatever BT allows. If this tech proves successful and takes off, a company like Jabra should be able to build amazing headsets with great sound quality, comfort, ANC and a dedicated boom mic that doesn't make you sound all muffled and crap.
Unless you're using some other middleware (like Krisp.ai), AI Noise Reduction is generally carried out by whatever platform you're using (Discord, Webex, Teams, Zoom, whatever).
A microphone is a microphone is a microphone. Microphones hear sounds.
The 'dynamic' part you're talking about would also be dealt with by Automatic Gain Control (AGC) in the same software (Teams, Discord, Twitch, etc). A "dynamic microphone" by definition is related to its internal electronics, not its capabilities for Automatic Gain Control.
The MV7X itself is unlikely to be the culprit here.
​
Check the settings on the software you use.
Try krisp software on laptop. It works well for me. It only gives 120 min free per week, try it out once.
Or you need to buy noise cancellation headphones, in my experience they are pretty expensive, folks around me always talk about sony xm3/4 or bose nc70 for this purpose but they are way out of bmy ubdget.
Hello, this workaround of mute one chat is really not working anymore. The only thing that work is the Krispy Noise Suppression.You can download here Just set the Krispy emulated mic as your main and will work. The only problem with this solution is that you cannot use all the time. There is a time limit.
Things that will help
- Treating your office or work space with some kind of sound absorption. Wall sound pads, sound blankets, thick curtains, furniture, carpeting...all help dampen sound in a room.
- A headset/mic combination. There are many specifically designed for call center workers.
- A podcast quality mic set up with a directional dynamic XLR mic and a board that allows you to control gain, and set a noise gate.
- Check out Krisp https://krisp.ai/blog/voice-cancellation-windows/
I personally use a Sure SM7B, and wired ear buds when I'm on video calls. The SM7B is a quiet mic that needs a gain booster, so it doesn't pic up a lot of noise. Wired ear buds give me consistent sound without having to worry about Bluetooth issues, and interference.
I just played a sound test on Box Jades.. yikes. I'm not sure any microphone could isolate that much click, even a very directional shotgun mic.
I ran across Krisp.ai in search results.. No idea how well it works, but it's free for 4 hours/week, so it might be worth a try.
The simplest method would be to mute yourself most of the time, then enable push-to-talk in discord and zoom.
I use something similar call Krisp . Works wonders on both the outgoing sound from your microphone and the incoming sounds from your clients… filters out kids screaming and dogs barking… also those weird white noise sounds that some people have from those cheap microphones
I don’t have any legal advice but you should Install https://krisp.ai on your laptop. It’s a software that removes background noise from your mic real time and presents a virtual microphone to be used on your laptop. It’s free and has been a godsend for me during the pandemic. Removes dogs barking, kids screaming etc. I don’t have any affiliation with Krisp just think it’s awesome software.
Honestly, I feel like that is a good question. I am unsure of the answer. I have started using Krisp.ai on my windows computer. I notice that after I have finished a test, Krisp mentions that the microphone is still being use by google chrome. The only way that I have found to get it to stop using the microphone is a reboot.
I doubt that the testing app is still recording or sending information, but it does seem that it doesn't fully disconnect afterwards.
If you're building around teams, it has built in NDI integration features that can be pretty helpful for bringing in remote participants - especially if your remote participants don't have any tech beyond a typical PC rig. A product like vMix Call is also an option.
I just discovered Krisp.ai for audio noise reduction on the client end, which has me gob smacked, by way of an aside.
Are you going to use these for calls on your phone, or computer via softphone/conferencing software ? If the latter, I use "Krisp" (https://krisp.ai) to block background noise from my environment entering my calls.
From the phone though, I've got no answers to that.
You usually get get more raw performance/dollar with AMD cards than NVIDIA. Nvidia is however the mainstream card due to brand recognition and specific features that people like to take advantage of (DLSS, early raytracing, NVENC video encoding, RTX voice, etc). There are open source alternatives to most/all of these (FSR instead of DLSS, raytracing on AMD, krisp.ai for RTX voice) but they aren't AMD exclusive so AMD at large doesn't get as much credit for them. AMD was also severely inferior to NVIDIA in their RX 4xx 5xx generations on top of their 5700xt launch having pretty bad drivers. They've mostly corrected these issues now but these problems left a bad taste for AMD from that time period. If you're trying to be a linux gamer you should be more inclined to get AMD as the graphics cards are usually better performance/dollar as mentioned before and a bunch of the NVIDIA technologies are also more geared for windows users anyway on top of having alternatives that can be done with an AMD setup. If you find a steal for an NVIDIA card though feel free to get it. Proprietary drivers can be a nightmare depending on the setup though. I have a laptop with an rtx 2080 max q and setting up proprietary drivers through prime on manjaro linux was so unstable I had to switch distros to pop os. On my desktop with a 6900xt manjaro works great though.
Highly recommend a high-end Jabra headset with bluetooth and reading this article, of course Krisp is going to rank their product #1, but the article still has value: https://krisp.ai/blog/noise-cancelling-apps-mac/ ... I've also seen a test with Jabra earbuds vs Apple Earpods, and the earpods were best if you don't want a full headset.
I saw an advertisement once on a video about a software that can cancel background noise. Because noise canceling headphones only cancel for you not the audio going from your mic to the call. krisp.ai is one I found with a quick google search but there may be others out there also https://krisp.ai/blog/zoom-noise-reduction/ for zoom set-up or yea put a desk in the bedroom so someone can close the door.
You could try krisp. It's a noise cancellation software. Take note that free tier only allows you to use the noise cancellation feature for a few hours ( although it will refresh every week ).
Going off their technology page, they use a deep neural network (deep learning) which is a subset of machine learning, and it does use a neural network to actually perform the noise suppression. Here's an article that goes more in detail about how they developed it, and you'll see that it definitely is more than just a lookback filter.
>... the high level approach is almost always the same, consisting of three steps, diagrammed in figure 5:
> 1. Data Collection: Generate big dataset of synthetic noisy speech by mixing clean speech with noise > 1. Training: Feed this dataset to the DNN on input and the clean speech on the output > 1. Inference: Produce a mask (binary, ratio or complex) which will leave the human voice and filter out noise
A few options that I know of for PC Windows players.
- If you have an Nvidia graphics card, see if the Nvidia Broadcast app works for you.
- Otherwise, it might be worth investing in a Krisp subscription.
- Finally, try using Discord for team chats. It uses Krisp under the hood and you don't have to pay for a subscription.
I, personally, didn't go to it but my friends mentioned it had cubicles for folks. They also mentioned they used Krisp, which silenced all background noise on their calls and they couldn't recommend it enough.
If you want to cut out background noise, download https://krisp.ai for software noise cancellation on your PC.
I use it all the time with my Jabra products. Good headsets/earbuds/speakerphones only do so well. Earbuds especially are more like speakerphones since they don't have a mic boom to go directly in front of your mouth to isolate what they should be picking up.
​
Try Krisp, as it does an amazing job of cutting out background noises. It has been my saviour during the pandemic while working from home with young girls screaming and a puppy barking.
EDIT: As far as the Link adapters go, they just improve connectivity/range more than anything. No difference in terms of sound quality while on a conference call.
You could try using AI noise filtering software too. If you have a PC / NVidia graphics card, they have their own free app.
Or try something like Krisp: https://krisp.ai/
This is best when combined with a good quality headset mic as others have mentioned.
https://imgur.com/sPg0Tp6 This is the photo in case someone wants to draw it. You'll definitely be able to replace the old choices by the new update? I am am interested in how the search would work with index match? Is it possible to do away without a standard library in C++ ? Like in C you can compile the code without having to sign up download link
Krisp works amazingly well for teleconferencing such as ZOOM, Webex etc. Not sure if it will work in other applications, but I believe there’s a free version that you can try. Best of luck.
Check out krisp.ai (https://ref.krisp.ai/u/u636474f52) - non-cloud based ML for background noise removal (both incoming and outgoing). It acts as a virtual speaker and virtual mic (Point Krisp at your real devices, and then point your call app at Krisp). Also handles backfeed and echo excellently. Yes, a referral link, but gives you an extra month free on top of the regular free month trial.
Haha, it takes less time to potty train a toddler.
It only took us six months to get our boss to quit eating (or start muting) on calls.
If you folks haven't check out Krisp, do it. It eases a lot of pain.
Discord uses Krisp for their noise filtering, which is available as a (paid) standalone package: https://krisp.ai/
I believe they do have a limited free plan though.
RTX Voice is also very popular among gamers if you have the hardware to support it. It is designed for Nvida's RTX series cards, but I believe there are workarounds for older models. Not sure about AMD cards or iGPUs.
Krisp is an AI powered app removes all unwanted background noise and echo from your video call You won’t sound underwater or distorted anymore. It's free to use and available on win and mac. This app helped me alot so i wanted to share it with you. If you like you can download it from here : https://krisp.ai/?ref=samjackson2
No problem! Good luck with your purchase and hope you enjoy it.
I use my Elite Active 75t earbuds a lot with my PC now. Mostly for conference calls on GotoMeeting/WebEx & consumer Skype. I also use Krisp.ai software noise cancelling which helps to reduce any outside noise the earbuds would otherwise bring into my calls. It works magically.
Hey guys I recently found this app which allows you block all the background noise in zoom/webex/ google meets (basically any conferencing app)
Here’s (my affiliate) link: https://krisp.ai/get-krisp-now/?ref=wind
Use it to sign up for free
Really hope this helps someone 🙂
I tried the free trial for Krisp, and did not like it at all cuz it makes my mic sound like garbage lol
I just thought of something - perhaps you could try running it through Krisp or RTX noise cancelling if you have a fancy Nvidia card. https://krisp.ai/blog/nvidia-rtx-voice-krisp/ . Just turn it into a stream and record that after processing. You wouldn't need to get RX for a lot of money.
It's not using a DAW, but if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
I've actually used krisp.ai before and it's much more stable than RTX voice at the moment, but RTX voice is free. With krisp you have 120 mins free per week but I always end up needing more than that

Headphones. :-) There are some new algorithms (nvidia rtx voice or https://krisp.ai/) that work pretty good for this but I think they are mainly for background noise not echo from playback in the room.
My Experience with RTX/Broadcast has been worse than Krisp.ai on my RTX2060. Not sure if I need a newer RTX card or if it's because the app is in beta but I have been encountering issues with Broadcast (RTX):
- It increases the GPU usage/temp when enabled even when not in use.
- The app's icon disappears from my taskbar/notification area
- Every once in a while a sentence that I speak in meetings becomes garbled.
I think it will probably get better with time (or with upgraded hardware when I get to it) but I am considering getting a yearly plan for Krisp for a year while RTX/Broadcast works out the issues.
If you have a Nvidia card, you can use their NVIDIA RTX Voice.
Asus also offers a free noise cancelling software.
If you're using Discord, Krisp.ai is for noise cancelling also.
You can also go into Windows and change some sound settings there to help.
An update on the Krisp.ai. I was speaking over Teams and the person on the other side had a yelping, screaming puppy next to them. I turned on Krisp to mute out their end for my sake and it removed 95% of that dog's noises. Pretty unbelievable.
My understanding is Discord has a built in noise suppression software (Krisp.ai) that uses machine learning algorithms to determine what noises to cancel out. To answer "how", we would need to get into machine learning and AI.
In an attempt to keep it simple, the software uses untold amounts of data from across the userbase to recognize patterns. Using pattern recognition and other math wizardry, the software can determine which noises, captured by the mic, are "background" and which are your voice. This is determined by using several of the properties found within a recorded sound. As a rudimentary example, the volume of the sound (in comparison to distance from the mic) could be used.
There are other methods using multiple mics, however, since you specified Discord and PC I believe the Discord software on your PC is the answer to your question.
krisp.ai - it's a virtual speak/mic for Mac and Windows that does machine learning to cut out background mic and speaker noise. It's great for me typing on my mechanical keyboard, teenager nearby talking to friends, my dog barking at FedEx... all muted. Works really really well. It's $40/year for unlimited time (on the free plan I think you get 2h/week and then it keeps working, but without noise canceling), for three devices.
Blatant plug, if you do like/use, referer code for a free extra month of "Pro" (unlimited time): https://ref.krisp.ai/u/u636474f52
Yeah. My dog also does excited peeing during greetings too. If we know we have a guest coming over, we need to make sure he goes to the bathroom immediately before, otherwise he'll dribble all over the floor or their feet. All the more reason why greetings need to be calm, and he gets no attention until he is calm too.
I work from home (did before Covid hit) and luckily have an office where I can close my doors. That said, I still need a good headset with ANC and noise cancelling software (https://krisp.ai) on the computer for my conference calls. The software is key - it really helps to cancel out my young daughters loud screams so other people don't hear them. It works so-so on the dog... most of the time it doesn't make it through on my calls, other times (only occasionally) it does come through. Either way it has saved me some sanity knowing it isn't as distracting to people on the other end of my calls. If you use Zoom, Teams, etc for conference calls - it is a good option to try out.

You're boned on the hardware side but thankfully, software can help. I use a virtualized microphone input that scrubs out the clackies called Noise Blocker.
I know Discord has something like this built in through something called krisp.ai so that might be worth exploring too, but I can personally recommend Noise Blocker and it was worth the 20 bucks.

I think you're looking in the wrong places and expecting that the nature of startups hasn't changed.
There are now widespread, established, dominant forces in tech, so innovation comes by layering services on top of these platforms.
Here are two that I found recently that address very specific and very relevant problems...but you won't be reading about them as if they are Facebook or Uber:
https://loom.com - screen recordings done directly in Google Chrome (it's a Chrome add-on)
https://krisp.ai - reduce background noise for calls via Zoom, Skype, etc.
Pure SaaS, very specific, built to function on top of existing, dominant platforms/technologies.
True innovation still exists. It just has a different face.

Blackhole isn't a noise subpression program. And that's different than a noise gate or expander. They do different things.
Krisp
is a real-time noise suppressor that runs in the background of the computer and processes the audio.
Sound Devices have real-time noise supression in some of their devices but it's out of your budget.
Noise gates and expanders don't remove noise while you are talking, though they might help with intermittant sounds or low ambient noise. I hate people that turn on a noise gate with lots of noise in the enviroment as it sounds un-natureral and quite horrible.
A decent dynamic mic and an interface that can drive it might make a lot of sense. The Motu M2 is very powerful and can drive basically any mic you want cleanly. If you want to spend a bit for the mic, the Electrovoice RE320 is quite popular as an all around solid large diaphram dynamic broadcast mic. I suggest looking at the BSW USA kits for this sort as the rePop pop filter is quite nice.
That might be overkill for what you want to do.
!
Therre is a program called Krisp you can run in the background
which does real-time noise removal.
Also, nVidia RTX graphics cards have a beta driver that can do real-time noise reduction in hardware. Very cool but only for RTX cards and Windows only.

Hey. I saw your post from a yr ago but it's not letting me reply as the post is closed.
To cancel your boyfriend as background noise while streamjng try running this app/program in the background. It's designed to do exactly what you're looking for. https://krisp.ai/get-krisp-now/?ref=pratiknorulianto12
cant say as i use them at home. although i did read a few reviews saying that mic do not perform well for calls in noisy environments
A few suggestions
Try lowering mic boost in windows setting
or
checkout krisp.ai (fairly cheap noise cancelling app/ sw)
I had similar issues with noise from other participants and also from my keyboard typing.
I found krisp.ai which seems to do a good job silencing noise both from others and also from your microphone. Runs on your machine and acts as a virtual sound card so it can be used with any program.
I am not affiliated with them, just hoping this helps, it has helped me.
I am using Chromium OS 83 (CloudReady x64) and it is working great for me with a USB headset. When I use Krisp.ai on macOS, I have to remember to correctly set the audio source as it does not appear to always remember the last source when I disconnect and reconnect my USB headset.
Most phones and/or VOIP services nowadays use advanced noise suppression algorithms to prioritize the audio of the speaker, rather than any background noise.
There are several algorithms in use, ranging from (but not limited to) simple algorithms such as:
Single-channel noise reduction, which reduces noise by either subtracting a known "noise profile" from the audio source, or looks for any constant noise (air conditioning, buzzing fans, humming lights, etc.) and constructs a noise profile in real-time.
to more advanced algorithms such as:
Acoustic beam forming, which uses two or more microphones to filter out noise that's further away from the device (e.g. a background television), while enhancing the audio closest to the device (i.e. the person speaking into the phone).
to even more advanced algorithms such as the proprietary krisp noise suppression software which uses trained neural network algorithms to intelligently filter out many different kinds of noise.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it's likely that either your phone or Facebook Messenger uses one (or perhaps even more) of these noise suppression algorithms to improve your audio quality.
So this is not something that will really work well long term, and you should really get a headset. (you can get one for around $20 that would be fine)
​
However a bit of software called Krisp could cut down most of the speaker noise, if not all of it completely.

Also adding some noise suppression in discord may help .
Also link doesn't work
I had a similar issue that bothered me for weeks, but I just solved it. I use the background noise elimination/reducing app Krisp for my Zoom calls, and that was the culprit. In my audio settings for Zoom, I changed by speaker from Krisp speaker to "Same as System" and that fixed it. I keep the speaker option at Krisp if I am not sharing audio, but switch it to the system one when I have to share audio. I hope this helps.

Use Plex Watch Together to watch the media, and use Discord to talk. That's what my friends and I do.
Edit: Reading the other replies, Discord is very good at filtering out background audio. The Windows releases of Discord (and only Windows :p, sucks 'cause I primarily use Ubuntu) have the option to enable krisp.ai, which is absolutely amazing at filtering audio.
Due to the nature of the microphone setup - I don't think you can expect them to cancel out much more noise.
I use them on calls with WebEx, Zoom, GotoMeeting, Teams, Skype, etc - however I use them on my PC. I use them in combination with Krisp (https://krisp.ai) which provides software-level noise-cancelling. Then I can trust them not to bring in too much unwanted noise.
I hear you on the dual-purpose use of business & personal for conference calls and music. Traditionally the Evolve lineup was not tuned for music whatsoever, but really great at voice conversations.
Having read the Evolve2 - 65 reviews - they seem to comment on the quality for music, which is promising then for the 85. That being said, I would still like some more reviews to know for sure.
If you do end up going for anything, I'd honestly skip the 65 version if you already have a quality Plantronics on-ear headset. I figure the 85's will be better in terms of comfort, but over-the-ear headsets still have issues - your ears do get hot just like wearing ear-muffs all day. The ability to switch between form factors will still be required I suspect, though the 85's should last longer before discomfort sets in. Also - the Evolve2 65's lack ANC.
When I'm using my Elite Active 75t's on calls, I also use them with Krisp (https://krisp.ai) which helps with noise cancelling since the style of those microphones bring in too much noise otherwise.
Ugh, sorry you're going through that. Construction just started on my building, as well, and I've been having to stay on mute except when I'm talking...which is fine for most meetings unless I'm presenting. :/
I haven't yet tried Krisp but recently read about it in an article about WFH. They have a post on their site about modifying Zoom settings to reduce background noise, too. If you do try this, please let us know how it goes!!
For the following recordings on Zoom I definitely recommend disabling the suppression of persistend background noise and intermittent background noise. You can untick these options under the audio settings. I think you have bad audio from compression as well, not much to regarding heavy compression. I would give it a go with RX, EQing the recording, but the most important thing would be identifying the key issues regarding the audio. Did you lose a lot of top end? Is compression making the recording sound warbly (=digital)? What is your assessment? If you point out the issues, then there will definitely be an option of reparing clarity and quality.
While most headsets do having some noise cancellation, they will still pick up some levels of background noise.
Whatever headset you go with, I'd recommend you look into some noise cancelling software like Krisp:
If you have the right Nvidia RTX graphcis cards, they also let you use "RTX Voice" which offers really good noise cancelling as well.
You can also solve that with software.
https://krisp.ai/ has a freemium model you can use to try before you buy. I haven't used it myself but it's been frequently recommended by my network.
Edit: also if memory serves, /u/cyberrico used to sell that equipment so he can probably point you in the right direction.
Noise cancelling headphones + noise cancelling microphone / software for both of you
I've tried this software
and it does a good job at isolating my voice from the surrounding noise when I'm on a call so other participants are not affected by it.
I pair it with noise cancelling headphones so I'm isolated myself from the noise.
In my opinion it's hard to have real conversations this way because responding to each other requires an additional action. Imagine needing to press a button in real life before you'd be able to say something. it would be impossible to have a well flowing conversation.
I would recommend that anyone who is able to do so from a management position to make sure that all meeting participants have invested in a proper microphone. Additionally the company could purchase [krisp.ai](https//krisp.ai) licenses, a programme that filters out background noise very well. That might actually already be sufficient.
This doesn't match what other people have seen in testing. I suspect their methodology is poor.
GamersNexus has a great video on it. The percentage performance impact on the 1080 Ti was a few percent higher than the 2080. The quality of the voice on the 1080 Ti was more robotic too.
From the explanation it makes sense. It is early beta software. It isn't fully utilizing the tensor cores yet, but they plan to. Remember DLSS 1.9 didn't really need tensor cores, but DLSS2.0 certainly does.
It could run on CPU only too, Krisp is doing this. Thing is Krisp is significantly worse. The drop in voice quality even with low noise is much more significant and immediately apparent. It is also very CPU demanding, to the point where Discords implementation added an automatic turn off if it overloads the CPU and in my experience that triggers a lot.
This is a deep learning algorithm, of course they want to run it on deep learning specialized cores.
Okay, that's pretty cool. Apparently it's using Krisp, which you can use separately from Discord and with any communications regardless of program. https://krisp.ai/pricing/ Pricing is decent too. I'll have to try this (since I don't own an RTX anyway).
I’m not affiliated in any way, just a massive fan, but Krisp.ai fixes so many problems on both outgoing AND incoming audio. Even entirely takes out my dog having a barking fit in my office. It’s basically magic.
Discord already has the feature. https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040843952-Krisp-Beta-FAQ
It is a beta feature you have to turn on and it works great.
~~Just looking at that page, apparently it has a standalone app too which can be used the same way as nvidia voice on any app. https://krisp.ai/discord/?ref=Discord~~ Only 120min a week free for the standalone app, not that appealing considering it says it still processes the audio on your pc, not a remote server doing the work. A monthly fee for an app running on your PC is silly, it should be a one time fee.
Already some great points mentioned here. But just to add on:
- Try to find time to do some workout in a day. It could be anything from following an online group like the insanity team or doing your favourite dance moves. If you're more of a guided workout person, Adidas Runtastic Premium is now free for 3 months.
- Have the right ergonomic setup to work. This could be a standing desk or a chair with good back support. If you're not used to a standing desk, that's absolutely fine because it takes getting used to. The tech industry has glamourised standing desk and for someone who isn't used to one, it could take a while. I've had friends complain that they get distracted and can't work while standing, so it's entirely a personal preference. But if you can get a chair with a good lumbar support, your back would thank you for that.
- I personally find it better to work in a bright space with lots of natural light. Getting some time in the sun is definitely helpful but if your work setup doesn't have that, you can make do with nice bright lighting.
- If you live with people or pets, and your job requires you to attend meetings and calls, I would recommend Krisp.AI to filter out background noise.
- Raise your monitor or laptop to eye level, if you can, so that you're not bending your neck for long hours. This means getting a stand for your laptop and an external keyboard+mouse.
I realize that a lot of people have been thrown into the deep end because of the situation right now, but if you're looking at this for the long term, I would highly recommend investing in your work station setup- good quality headphones, nice chair with arm and back support, good desk, decent camera and maybe even a microphone.

Hello u/aastrar, it appears you tried to put a link in a title, since most users cant click these I have placed it here for you

You can install Krisp onto your machine and assign it as your mic input for heroes. You don’t need to wait for bnet to implement anything.
It won’t help with other people but you can recommend they give it a try.
Do you want a mic boom, none?
Jabra is releasing their new Evolve2 headset lineup early next month. The Evolve2 85 is expensive ($449 USD), but if price is no object... it looks great. Over the ear design, ANC, with discreet mic boom for better noise cancelling.
No matter which headset you go with, you can always use the <strong>Krisp</strong> noise cancelling app to block background noise if the mic on your headset lets too much in.
Yeah... it will only get worse for awhile here I'm sure. If you're working from home, you'll enjoy the headset.
The microphone doesn't block all noise though of course. If you have little ones at home, definitely check out the Krisp noise canceling app! (https://krisp.ai) as it does an amazing job at canceling out kid's voices/screams in the background. Or, even if you don't have kids - but are hearing other people's children/dogs yelping on your conference calls - you can mute THEIR background noises. :)
The website states that nothing is recorded and audio is managed locally, and that the collected is device/app usage.
I can't speak to it further than that. It reads to me as sincere, but I'm sure someone will take or find an issue with it.
