Enhance Speech Creates Weird Audio Spikes

Something I've noticed semi-consistently is when using enhance speech in the essential sound panel (which 95% of the time is amazing) is that it will create words or sounds out of either a background noise, such as an object being tapped, or a breath by the talent.  I know the machine learning is still coming along, but would like to see this addressed in the future so I don't need to cut the audio separately to remove the enhance for that instance and try to replicate the enhancement on the rest of the clip.

Yes, that can definitely be frustrating. As a workaround, you can use volume keyframes to manually mute or reduce the level of those glitchy sections. Alternatively, you might try Adobe’s web-based Enhance Speech tool, which often delivers cleaner results than the in-app version in Premiere Pro.
