Hey, I'm having trouble trying to get rid of some background car rumble noise. I tried denoise and also tried sound removal, but nothing seems to work.

You're welcome 🙂

Was that the only section that had a problem ?

Best regards, Euan.

Noise Reduction only really works on constant sources of noise, and car rumble generally isn't constant - which is why it's not very successful at removing it. We can't really tell whether there's anything you can do without hearing a few seconds of it, preferrably not in the form of an MP3; a short wav file with both the noise and the wanted signal would be ideal. But there are no guarantees...

Okay, I hope this attaches right.

Well, I've listened to it and I'm afraid there really isn't anything you can do to it that will help. You can't even EQ some of it out without affecting the sound considerably, and you can't gate it, because the unwanted sound is louder than the speech. There really isn't anything else to try in Audition, and I expect that even an advanced processor like RX is going to have some difficulty with it as well, although I can't try that until tomorrow.
