Isolate (not remove) and Enhance Background Noise

Hi All,

 

Hope you are well!

 

I have an audio file from a phone video that I'm trying to isolate & enhance the background "noise" of... There are people talking close to the phone and it's overpowering the background sound that I'm trying to isolate. However, everything I'm finding online has to do with background noise removal... which is not my goal.

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

 

Most Respectfully,

James

    Most noise reduction plugins have the option of playing just the noise. If you apply the plugin with that enabled, you'll get suppressed speech.

    Try copying  you audio to a separate track, applying the "inverted" noise plugin, and then mix the two sources. (FYI, I've never tried this myself—never had the need.)
