Any denoise plug-ins [or such] for my audio output - work audio can come to me with extreme background noise - I'm on a Win11Home Laptop?

    Hi there, Cathy! This is Marc. Thanks for reaching out to the community.

    Yes, there are noise reduction options you can use on Windows 11 Home, even without built-in enterprise tools. Microsoft now includes a basic “Voice Focus” and “Automatic Noise Suppression” feature in some apps like Teams, but for system-wide audio output cleanup, you’ll need third-party software.

    Popular free options include Krisp and NoiseTorch (Windows port), which filter out background noise in real time for both input and output audio. Paid tools like NVIDIA Broadcast (requires RTX GPU) or RTX Voice also offer excellent denoising, while apps like NoiseGator or Voicemeeter Banana can route audio through noise gates and filters.

    Let me know if this helps, or if you need further assistance.

    Best regards,

    Thanks Marc. I do some transcription work, at home, from audio files and within an proprietary application from which I can't access the file other than to replay. Mostly fine but every now and again the voices are buried under broad spectrum noise. I've got an old [possibly antique => ] mixer which I route the audio through if it has ear splitting sibilance and that works fine but for the voices drowned in noise, not so much. I don't have any control over these files I get and to be honest I'm not expected to do any processing but just capture as much content that the first AI pass can't, and then proof and edit to specification. It's just when I suspect that noise is probably/possibly removable or at least reduced with the right tool that can take noise print and remove that, well I want to in and get my hands dirty! = ) I had a quick look at Krisp and I'll just keep snooping about. Big thanks.
