Combines high-pass filtering, low-band attenuation, FFT denoise, compression, and limiting. Use it for interviews, phone videos, field recordings, and outdoor dialogue with wind rumble.

## Inputs

- **Audio File** (file): Select an audio file
- **Reduction Mode** (select)
- **High-pass Frequency (Hz)** (number)
- **Denoise Amount** (range)
- **Preserve Voice Warmth** (checkbox)
- **Output Format** (select)

## When to use

- When outdoor dialogue or interviews are obscured by low-frequency wind rumble.
- When field recordings capture unwanted broadband gust noise alongside environmental sounds.
- When mobile phone videos recorded outdoors suffer from microphone wind interference.

## How it works

- Upload your audio file in a supported format such as MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or OGG.
- Select a reduction mode (Voice, Field, or Aggressive) and adjust the high-pass frequency and denoise amount.
- Apply low-band attenuation, FFT denoise, and compression to isolate and suppress wind noise while optionally preserving voice warmth.
- Download the processed audio file in your chosen output format.

## Use cases

- Cleaning up outdoor podcast interviews recorded on windy days.
- Removing low-frequency rumble from field recordings of nature or cityscapes.
- Enhancing dialogue clarity in outdoor video audio captured on mobile phones.

## Frequently asked questions

### What audio formats are supported for output?

You can export your processed audio as MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or OGG.

### How does the 'Preserve Voice Warmth' option work?

It prevents the high-pass filter and low-band attenuation from making human voices sound too thin or tinny.

### Which reduction mode should I choose for outdoor dialogue?

Use the 'Voice Wind Cleanup' mode to target wind rumble while keeping speech clear.

### What is the range for the high-pass frequency?

You can set the high-pass frequency anywhere between 40 Hz and 260 Hz.

### Can I use this tool for ambient nature recordings?

Yes, select the 'Field Recording Cleanup' mode to reduce wind gusts while preserving environmental background sounds.
