<p>I use a GoPro 10 to record videos. The GoPro is placed on a car. There's some pretty audible wind noise, esp. when the speed is over 50 or 100 kph. How can I reduce the wind noise as much as possible when recording a video with a GoPro?</p>
<p>I've turned the wind noise removal on on the GoPro settings. tried using the <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08FRTLX2M" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official GoPro protection case</a> and some &quot;<a href="https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09JMWZ28Y" rel="nofollow noreferrer">windscreen windslayer cover housing frame case</a>&quot;, it helps but there's still some wind noise. What else can I do?</p>
<p>I'm aware of <a href="https://video.stackexchange.com/q/8468/2117">How to reduce wind noise from a video?</a> but that's for post-processing the wind noise.</p>

Is the GoPro mounted externally? What sounds are you trying to capture? One solutions would be a separate mic, closer to your subject - inside the car, in the engine bay etc.

@Tetsujin externally mounted indeed. I'm trying to capture the ambient sounds and don't wish to record anyone inside the car. Where could be a good place to place an additional mic and what type of microphones has a good sound quality at 100+ kph? Thanks!

I think you may need an external solution, mic in a 'zeppelin' blimp covered by a 'dead cat' secondary windshield. That's de rigueur for outdoor filming, but idk whether it's good enough for a moving vehicle - that's outside my experience.

# How can I reduce the wind noise as much as possible when recording a video with a GoPro?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-07-30)

I use a GoPro 10 to record videos. The GoPro is placed on a car. There's some pretty audible wind noise, esp. when the speed is over 50 or 100 kph. How can I reduce the wind noise as much as possible when recording a video with a GoPro?

I've turned the wind noise removal on on the GoPro settings. tried using the [official GoPro protection case](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08FRTLX2M) and some "[windscreen windslayer cover housing frame case](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09JMWZ28Y)", it helps but there's still some wind noise. What else can I do?

I'm aware of [How to reduce wind noise from a video?](https://video.stackexchange.com/q/8468/2117) but that's for post-processing the wind noise.
