Part 1: How to Remove Background Noise with Leawo Video Converter Ultimate

We shot the recorded video or audio with an SLR and a mobile phone and found a lot of noise. The noise is mainly caused by the noisy recording environment and strong electromagnetic interference in the surrounding area during the previous shooting. Noise directly affects the texture and clarity of the sound, so when we record the audio in the early stage, we try to find a relatively complex and quiet environment, such as a room and office. Because the sound is not easy to produce an echo in a complex environment and try to avoid recording in a strong electromagnetic interference environment. How to remove background noise from the video? Actually, in order to remove background noise from video, you have to seek help from some video post-processing programs to eliminate the noise.
