1. what do you guys do when you have to clean up background noise? i'm trying to get subway engine sounds but it's filled with noise and chatter.

2. what equipment do you guys use to record sounds?

Some ways to clean up the noise : Wave Diamond, BIAS SoundSoap, Audacity, voxengo denoiser... Declickers denoisers dehumers or sometime just filtering makes a sound better.

Suggestion: Upload your raw recording to Freesound, and you'll get some ideas offered and maybe one or more of us will have a go at cleaning it up, and will tell you what we did (if it comes out half decent).

We always like a challenge.

this was my recording of some high heels that people tried to clean up.

i actually don't have raw recordings of my own (i want subways from a specific city and i am about 3000 miles away)

take for this example

some guy i talked to said it was "overloaded" - there is static in the middle and there's people chattering during the recording. is there any way to fix this, so far i have ripped sound portions from a variety of videos and that's all i got.
