Clean speech from degraded recordings
Speech Denoise clears the noise that drowns out words — hum, hiss, crowd babble, wind, and environmental interference — while keeping the natural ambience of the recording intact. It recovers the speech already in the signal, without synthetic processing.

What is AudioShake Speech Denoise?
Speech Denoise is an AI model that improves speech intelligibility in noisy recordings by clearing the sounds that would otherwise drown out the words.
Speech Denoise removes hum, hiss, crowd babble, wind, and other environmental interference — but it does this while keeping the natural ambience intact, so it doesn't flatten the recording. The audio still sounds like the space it was captured in. It's also effective at improving the intelligibility of background speakers, not just the closest voice. Because it recovers the speech already present rather than regenerating it, the result stays faithful to what was said.

01
Pull the voice out of the noise
Background noise is interference layered over the voice — hum, hiss, wind, a crowd in the room. Standard noise reduction tends to flatten the recording, stripping the natural ambience along with the noise. Speech Denoise separates the interference from the speech and removes it while keeping the room’s natural sound, working on the original signal so nothing is invented or synthesized.

When to use Speech Denoise
Use Speech Denoise...
There's hiss, hum, crowd, or wind over the voice.
You want to keep the natural ambience, and not flatten the recording.
The room itself sounds fine — you just need the noise gone.

The audio is reverberant or echoey.

Built for high-stakes audio workflows
01
Broadcast and journalism
When generative alternatives aren’t editorially defensible
Reporters work in conditions that routinely threaten clean recordings: crowded press events, outdoor sources, wind, competing voices. Speech Denoise makes those recordings usable without compromising what was actually captured.

Forensics and emergency services
Intelligibility that holds up under legal scrutiny
911 recordings, body camera audio, and dispatch communications are frequently noisy, low resolution, or captured under difficult conditions. Speech Denoise processes the original signal without introducing synthetic content.
→
03
Call centers and customer intelligence
QA and compliance without altering what was said
Call recordings are often compressed, clipped, and captured over variable-quality connections. Speech Denoise makes those recordings workable for QA, compliance, and agent training. Real-time processing via the AudioShake SDK supports live environments.

PODCASTING AND CONTENT CREATION
Consistent sound across every guest and location
Remote interviews, untreated home rooms, and on-location recordings rarely match studio conditions. Speech Denoise makes voices clearer and more consistent across guests and locations, so creators can publish polished episodes without re-recording or expensive room treatment.
→
05
Documentary and unscripted television
Less manual correction before post-production
Speech Denoise recovers dialogue before it moves into dubbing, localization, access services, or transcription — reducing rework at every downstream stage, including costly and time-consuming ADR.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will denoising make the recording sound flat or over-processed?
No. It targets the interference rather than suppressing everything it classifies as noise, and it keeps the natural ambience intact, so the output doesn't sound flattened. Because it recovers the speech already in the signal, nothing is synthesized.
Can it recover background speakers, not just the closest voice?
Yes. Speech Denoise improves intelligibility across the recording, including speakers further from the mic — useful in crowded, multi-speaker captures.
Does Speech Denoise also remove echo and room reverb?
No. Denoise clears interfering noise while keeping the natural ambience, so the recording still sounds like the space it was captured in. If the problem is a reverberant room rather than noise, use Speech DeReverb.
What kinds of noise can Speech Denoise remove?
Hum, hiss, crowd babble, wind, and other environmental interference — the sounds that bury the words in real-world recordings like emergency calls, field interviews, body-cam audio, and crowd-heavy sports captures.
