On a supported Galaxy device, open the video in Gallery, choose Audio Eraser, adjust a detected sound and compare it with the original before saving a copy. Short or ambiguous sounds may not be identified correctly.
Samsung Audio Eraser analyzes a recording and lets supported Galaxy devices reduce categories of sound such as voices, music, wind or noise. To use it on a compatible video, open the video in Gallery, enter its audio editing controls, choose Audio eraser, adjust the detected sound and save an edited copy. Compare the difficult part with the original: a quieter result can still lose a wanted word or effect.
Samsung says the feature is available on select phones and tablets running Android 14 with One UI 6.1 or later; those version numbers alone do not guarantee support. Controls, account requirements and availability can vary by model, software and region. Consult Samsung's current Audio eraser instructions for your device.
How to use Audio Eraser in Samsung Gallery
- Open a video and keep the source. In Gallery, select the video and play a section containing the unwanted sound and any speech you need to preserve.
- Open the audio editor. Samsung's US instructions say to tap Edit (the pencil), then Audio (the speaker) and Audio eraser. Other versions may show a Galaxy AI entry point; follow the controls on your device.
- Choose a detected category. Select the sound you want to reduce, such as Noise, Music, Voices, Crowd or Nature, and adjust the available level. Categories appear according to the analysis and the recording; do not assume every sound will be detected.
- Compare and save. Play the edit, use Hear original to compare, then choose Apply edits → Save copy in the documented workflow. Play the saved copy separately to check speech, music and transitions.
Samsung notes that short sounds can be missed and ambiguous sounds can be classified incorrectly. If a word disappears with the noise or a music cue changes, reduce the adjustment or keep the original. Its regional guide also notes that available settings and account requirements vary.
Choose the sound you actually want to keep
| Goal | Starting action | Listen for |
|---|---|---|
| Reduce wind under speech | Try the detected wind or noise control. | Quiet consonants, low voice tone and gusts overlapping words. |
| Reduce music but keep a presenter | Adjust the detected music category if available. | Voice damage, leftover music and changes to wanted effects. |
| Make the video completely silent | Use the editor's mute option and save the edit. | All recorded speech and effects are also muted. |
| Keep only an extracted voice file | Use an audio export or source-isolation workflow. | The format, saved output and unwanted sounds remaining in the voice. |
Why is Audio Eraser missing or not working?
Check the Galaxy model, Android and One UI version, and whether the feature is available in your region. Samsung describes Audio Eraser in Gallery and other supported apps, but entry points and capabilities differ. A necessary account or software update may be required; consult the relevant Samsung support page before changing settings.
If the control opens but a sound is not listed, the analysis may not have recognized it. A very brief click or an overlapping voice can be difficult to classify. Compare a less aggressive setting and listen to the same phrase on the original. Audio Eraser cannot guarantee a clean separation or restore a word already obscured or clipped.
Can I use it on voice recordings or YouTube?
Samsung also describes voice-focused Audio Eraser in certain supported apps, including Voice Recorder, Samsung Notes and Video Player, with workflows that differ from Gallery's category controls. Its support page describes an Audio Eraser option in the Quick panel for supported full-screen YouTube playback. That playback feature should not be assumed to create a standalone edited audio or video file; verify the specific app's save options and permissions.
What if my device does not support it?
Use original separate tracks if available. For a saved MP3, WAV, MP4 or MOV up to 50 MiB, you can also test Saturalabs voice isolation: describe the spoken voice and review Isolated sound. Its output is an estimated audio track, not an edited Gallery video. Noise or music may remain and wanted words can change; AI WAV downloads require an account and sufficient credits, shown before download.
To use the chosen audio with picture, import it into a video editor, align it with the original and mute the old soundtrack while comparing. The audio replacement guide covers sync and transition checks. If your goal is to mute the whole video, see how to remove sound from video on Android.
