Saturalabs / Voice & video
Remove background noise from your video.
Give dialogue more space in a noisy video recording. Choose whether to keep the voice or separate a particular distraction, then review the audio before finishing your video edit.
Start with your recordingThe track you’re looking for
The requested voice. Target a specific noise and keep Background audio if you want to preserve more of the scene.

A focused approach
Choose between cleaner speech and a quieter soundscape
Not every noisy video needs the same treatment. If the spoken message is the only sound you need, start by requesting the voice and keep Isolated sound. If you want to retain dialogue, footsteps, and room ambience while reducing one distraction, try naming that distraction and keep Background audio instead.
For example, ‘The steady fan noise’ asks for the unwanted fan as the isolated source. The remaining track is the candidate for a quieter scene. ‘The main person speaking’ asks for speech directly. These approaches can produce different results, so choose based on what your edit needs to preserve and listen to both tracks.
From mix to source
How to remove background noise from video
Upload the video
Use MP4 or MOV up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB), or upload MP3 or WAV audio from your edit. For a larger video, export the relevant segment first and retain its timeline start point.
Decide what needs to survive
For voice-focused content, describe the speaking voice. For a scene where other sounds matter, describe one clear distraction such as a fan or nearby traffic rather than asking vaguely for ‘all noise.’
Compare the correct output
Keep Isolated sound when you request speech. Keep Background audio when you request the noise to remove. Replay quiet words and overlaps to catch damage to the sound you wanted to preserve.
Finish in your video editor
Download the chosen WAV, align it with the original video, and adjust its level in your editor. Saturalabs produces separated audio; export the final video from your editing application.
Be specific about the sound
A prompt for the result you want
Describe the source, then choose the output that matches your goal. These are starting points to try with your own recording.
| Your goal | Try this prompt | Keep this track |
|---|---|---|
| Keep the presenterBest starting direction when the words matter more than ambient sound. | The main person speaking | Isolated sound |
| Reduce a fan but retain the sceneThe fan is the target; the remaining track is the quieter-scene candidate. | The steady fan noise | Background audio |
| Try reducing nearby trafficCheck voice and environmental details that overlap the traffic. | The passing traffic noise | Background audio |
Made for a real next step
Put the separated audio to work
Indoor tutorials
Try isolating a presenter when fan or room noise competes with the explanation. Check quieter demonstrations and sentence endings as well as the opening.
Location interviews
Choose speech isolation for a focused interview, or try targeting a specific environmental sound when the surrounding scene is part of the story.
Social and product videos
Recover a more usable spoken track from a finished clip. Listen with the intended music bed before deciding whether the cleanup improves the final edit.
For the finished video, follow the audio replacement and sync guide to place the chosen WAV, mute the source sound, and check the final export.
Listen before you commit
Three checks worth making
Compare a quiet passage and a busy passage with the original, at a similar listening level.
Speech intelligibility
Replay soft words, consonants, and breaths. Reducing a distraction is not useful if the viewer loses part of the message.
Ambience and continuity
Listen through cuts and pauses. Decide whether the remaining room sound feels natural or needs support from the original recording.
Distortion already in the source
Listen for clipped or crackling speech in the original. Separating noise does not guarantee reconstruction of audio damaged during recording.
Know the limits
Noise removal cannot repair every recording problem
Source separation may leave remnants or introduce artifacts. Wind hitting a microphone, clipping, and strong reverberation can damage or blur the wanted sound itself. A separation can reduce an audible competing source, but it does not promise to rebuild missing speech or restore a distorted recording perfectly.
Use the clearest original file you have, and compare the result at a similar listening level. For future recordings, reduce distractions before capture and place the microphone closer to the speaker. Better source audio gives you more room to edit without relying entirely on cleanup.
How can I remove background noise from a video online?
Upload an MP4 or MOV up to 50 MiB (52.43 MB). Describe the voice you want to keep, or a specific noise you want to separate. Review the corresponding output and download the chosen WAV for use in your video editor.
Should I prompt for the voice or the noise?
Request the voice and keep Isolated sound when you mainly need clear speech. Request a specific noise and keep Background audio when you want to preserve more of the original scene. Compare both approaches when the first result is not suitable.
Will I receive a cleaned video file?
The outputs are audio tracks. Import the chosen WAV into your video editor, align it with the source clip, mute or lower the old soundtrack, and export the final video there.
Can this fix wind distortion or clipped speech?
It may help separate some audible competing sounds, but it cannot guarantee recovery of words damaged by clipping or microphone wind. Check the original to distinguish an unwanted source from damage already present in the voice.
Can I keep background music while reducing noise?
You can try targeting the specific noise and keeping Background audio for the remaining mix. Check whether music and dialogue are preserved; overlapping sources can still be affected by separation.
