# Audio Click Removal Remove clicks and pops from vinyl recordings > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-click-removal - **Category:** Media - **Keywords:** audio, click, pop, vinyl, crackle, restoration, noise removal ## Overview Uses advanced algorithms (adeclick) to detect and remove clicks, pops, and crackle from vinyl recordings and other damaged audio sources. ## Inputs - **Audio File** (file): Select an audio file - **Removal Intensity** (select): Light: minimal artifacts, Normal: good balance, Aggressive: may affect audio quality - **Window Size (ms)** (number): Analysis window size. Larger = better detection but slower. - **Overlap (%)** (number): Window overlap percentage. Higher = smoother transitions. - **Detection Threshold (1-100)** (number): Lower = more sensitive to small clicks, Higher = only removes strong clicks. - **Output Format** (select) ## When to use - When digitizing old vinyl records to remove background noise and preserve audio. - When cleaning up audio files with clicks from equipment handling or recording issues. - When preparing audio for professional use where pristine sound is essential. ## How it works - Upload your audio file in a supported format like MP3, WAV, or FLAC. - Select the removal intensity: Light for minimal artifacts, Normal for balance, or Aggressive for maximum click removal. - Adjust advanced settings such as window size and detection threshold to fine-tune the process. - Choose your preferred output format and download the cleaned audio file. ## Use cases - Restoring vintage vinyl records for digital archiving and listening. - Cleaning up podcast or interview recordings with microphone interference clicks. - Preparing audio samples for music production by removing unwanted noise artifacts. ## Frequently asked questions ### What audio file formats can I upload? You can upload audio files in formats like MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, and FLAC. ### How does the removal intensity affect audio quality? Light mode preserves audio quality but removes fewer clicks, Normal balances removal and quality, Aggressive removes more clicks but may affect fidelity. ### Can I process multiple audio files simultaneously? No, the tool processes one audio file at a time. Upload each file separately for click removal. ### What is the detection threshold used for? The detection threshold (1-100) controls sensitivity: lower values detect smaller clicks, higher values target only strong clicks. ### How long does processing typically take? Processing time varies based on file size and settings, but it is generally quick for standard audio lengths. ## Related tools - [Karaoke Vocal Reducer](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-karaoke-track): Attempt to remove vocals from a stereo track - [Video Deinterlace](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/video-deinterlace): Remove interlacing artifacts from video to convert interlaced video to progressive scan - [Audio DC Offset Fixer](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-dc-offset-fixer): Detect and remove DC offset from audio - [Audio Declicker](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-declick): Remove clicks and pops from audio files caused by vinyl records, digital errors, or other impulsive noise sources - [Audio Decrackler](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-decrackle): Remove crackles and subtle impulsive noise from audio files.
