Remove background noise from audio

Hum, hiss and echo gone. Your voice stays natural.

Recorded in a kitchen, a car or a hotel room? Onda separates speech from everything else, removes noise and echo, and evens out the level so your recording sounds much closer to a studio take.

How it works

  1. Upload the recording

    Add an MP3, WAV, M4A or MP4 file up to 2 hours long. Video files keep their picture.

  2. Set the cleanup

    Choose how strongly to reduce noise and echo, and turn on loudness leveling to −16 LUFS if the file is a podcast.

  3. Preview and download

    Switch between the original and the cleaned audio at any point, then download a WAV or an MP3, or the MP4 with its new soundtrack.

Why use it

  • Voice first

    The model is trained to keep speech rather than simply cut frequencies, so voices don’t come out thin or robotic.

  • Echo, not just noise

    Bare rooms make voices sound distant. Echo removal brings them back close to the microphone.

  • Ready for transcription

    Cleaner audio means fewer transcription errors. Send the result straight to Transcribe audio.

Questions and answers

What kinds of noise can it remove?

Steady noise such as hum, hiss, air conditioning and fridge buzz, and irregular noise such as traffic, keyboard clicks, wind and distant chatter. Music under a voice is reduced, not removed.

Will my voice sound processed?

Not at the default strength. For very noisy recordings you can push the slider further; preview the result, as some breathiness may be lost.

Can I clean the audio of a video?

Yes. Upload the MP4 and download it with the cleaned soundtrack; the picture is not re-encoded.

What is loudness leveling?

It sets the overall volume to a standard target, −16 LUFS, a common reference for podcasts, so listeners don’t have to adjust the volume between shows.
