<p>While making videos at home, there is a considerable amount of ambient noise throughout the day (e.g. airplanes, cars honking, dogs barking, etc).  I know there are (software) tools that are capable of filtering out such noise while recording voice audio.  For example, Microsoft's &quot;Teams&quot; software has a digital/software filter that, when turned on, causes all of those sounds to be filtered out of the audio that is transmitted to others in the &quot;Team&quot; call.

<li><strong>Video</strong>: A Sony ZV-1F.</li>
</ul>
<p>Honestly, I have yet to make my first video...but audio tests show that absolutely every ambient sound is mingled with my voice.</p>
<p>I am not looking for a solution of &quot;go to a recording studio&quot;.  Also, I am not talking about playback of a recording (I am not looking for a noise-cancellation headset).

I know there are (software) tools that are capable of filtering out such noise while recording voice audio. For example, Microsoft's "Teams" software has a digital/software filter that, when turned on, causes all of those sounds to be filtered out of the audio that is transmitted to others in the "Team" call. It does a flawless job of this, allowing essentially only voice audio to pass through.

However, I have yet to find what software would do this for a typical home video recording setup. In my case, the hardware I have is:

* **Sound**: a Professional Scarlett Studio MIC, connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, which is then connected to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook is running Ableton Live 11.
* **Video**: A Sony ZV-1F.

Honestly, I have yet to make my first video...but audio tests show that absolutely every ambient sound is mingled with my voice.

I am not looking for a solution of "go to a recording studio". Also, I am not talking about playback of a recording (I am not looking for a noise-cancellation headset). I am looking for software, presumably compatible with the above, which filters out the noise while the recording of my voice is in progress. Any suggestions?

As you're working in mono, this becomes easy, using that dreaded misnomer… **AI**

Just record your soundtrack as normal, then throw the resulting file at [Adobe Enhance](https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance) (free but requires sign-up). It only takes wav or mp3. It *will* take stereo but gives you mono back.  
Tadahh. Clean audio track.

Honestly, it's nearly put me out of a job :\

There's also a [Mic Check](https://podcast.adobe.com/miccheck) tool, which I haven't yet tried.

BTW, the kind of routines that Teams et al use is 'clever' but pretty low bandwidth/complexity. You wouldn't want to use it for broadcast
