Help!!! I have this issue. I got the OM7 Mic to try to get rid of the background noise. I'm a beginner by the way and well here Is what I've done so far-- I bought a Focusrite and connected that I also tried building some sort of DIY home studio (i tried recording outside of it and the underwater /tin sound is still present). Background noise is not present but the white noise is crazy which I tried getting rid of in audacity with noise reduction. Sigh. And one last thing i noticed that when I increase the gain on focusrite the white noise is well what it normally is, annoying. But if i try reducing the gain then the white noise is like a monster lol. Am i doing something wrong? I'm about to pull my hair out or worse cry.

I presume that this is the Audix OM7 mic you are talking about. Which version of Audition are you using? And which Focusrite are you talking about? We really need some more information here about exactly what you're doing to get to this state.
