I have been doing some searching myself for this problem and found multiple solutions both on this forum and others. But the solutions didn't quite cut it for me. Audio lag or quality loss was usually the problem (or just my inability to get a local TS server running).
I know there is some new plugin being worked on for OBS that would try to remove the white microphone noise and give voice activation, but the method I use is working very well, so I don't know if they can even top it. EDIT: There is no static or anything to hear unless you speak and even when you speak there is only your voice. It works great!Method: use mumble and a free mumble server to capture your voice and send it with virtual audio cable to OBSTimeConsuming: 1 hour tops, tho fiddling with the voice bars to get things sounding exactly the way you like it, can take longer.Requirements:Mumble. Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming. Its a program very like teamspeak/ventrillo/raidcall.
There was another guide that used teamspeak for this problem on the OBS forum but I found mumble to be far superior on its audio quality, noise cancellation and customization. Download here:Mumble Server (Murmur).
Follow the instructions this guy give you to create a server you can connect to with mumble.Virtual Audio Cable (VAC). This is a program you have to pay for. Otherwise if you use the trial a perfectly annoying girl will scream 'TRIAL' every 5 secs or so. This is a very simple program that will run a virtual cable to connect your voice from mumble to your OBS. Once installed your pc will boot it up automatically every time and you don't need to configure anything.Howto: Once you got the programs and the server its time to get the settings right. Let's start with mumble.
Question: is there a program that directly controls the sound from your microphone to delete the static/background noise?What I'd like to find is a direct and overall answer (i guess this also works with skype anyway), like the option from Windows/Realtek 'Noise suppression'. That kinda works, but it's not good enough, even though the background noise is 100% removed, your own voice suffers quality loss, it sounds like if you were inside a cave or something like that. It's not so bad, but it could be better.So, after reading that there's no quality loss and no background noise when using Mumble even when you talk, is there something that directly deals with your microphone like that? It'd be nice (and a better solution?) to avoid having to send your sound to a 3rd party and then it being sent to skype/obs/whatever.

I know this is a bit of an older post but I wanted to pop in and say thank you.
Using this guide helped me out with excessive noise from a noisy room.Also wanted to point out something I discovered while going over this guide. Simple put, the mumble server isn't needed for this to work. Because you set the loopback setting to local, the audio will automatically be picked up even when your not connected to a server. So while the Mumble server (murmur) takes up very little cpu usage it's still better to not have it running at all.:).
When recording, you might want to put in a noise gate and noise suppression. Depending on your software you might be able to do itRemoving it in post:Many audio recording/editing software have noise suppression options.I use Audacity; you select a bit of you not talking so that all the sound is noise and then you command the program to remove that noise profile from your entire recording.I know how to use Audacity to remove them, but for live streams, audacity can't be used.PS: Attaching at the back of the CPU didnt helped either.
That might be relevant indeed.Do you have your mic plugged into the back? Then run a ground wire from the motherboard connector plate to something grounded.Really, your computer really should be properly grounded though.Yes it's at the back. And I've never done something related to that, could you give me some tips?EDIT: When electricity goes off, then the PC is at super static noise Lol.EDIT 2: If I wear headphones with high volume, I can hear the static noise in the headphones but can't on speakers. Well, you could just take a metallic wire and run it from the back of your computer to a properly grounded thing.Traditionally (15+ years ago) you might unscrew a screw at the back a bit and and rescrew.
Then connect the other end to a heating pipe (Something metallic that will go to the ground).However, your case really should be grounded by way of your PSU.Your PSU should be electrically connected to the rest of the case and your PSU should be connected by a grounded power wire to a proper electric grid.If your home has ungrouded outlets you may want to use a solution described above or google how to deal with ungrounded outlets in a modern home (as there are other solutions).

So you’ve shot the perfect video. Everything looks good and everything went exactly as planned. Then you go to edit your video and your heart stops.Why? Because you notice annoying background noise in the video.Maybe it’s minor or maybe it’s kind of destroying your entire video. Whatever the case, you set out to find how to remove it.And this time your heart drops.
Because there are so many “tutorials” out there that are either pitching a product, seem way too techie or are just plain confusing.So let me make things easy for you, by sharing what the average person can do to remove background noise from their videos. I’ll start with a couple of cheap or free tools you can use and then end with a simple trick that you’ll likely end up using anyway.You Should Have Done This FirstIf you plan on using software to remove background noise in videos, first you need to understand how this software works. And it works by identifying and isolating a noise and then doing it’s magic to remove that specific noise “fingerprint” from the entire video.The sad part is that to identify and isolate a specific noise accurately, it needs to be able to hear that noise and ONLY that noise. That means it won’t be accurate if BOTH your good audio and the noise are mixed together.Great, so how do you make that happen? The only way to make that happen is to always shoot about 30 seconds of silence before shooting your actual video. In other words, press record on the camera, be silent for 30 seconds, then start doing your thing.This 30 seconds of silence provides the separation the software needs between the noise you want to remove and your good audio. During this 30 seconds, the only thing the software will hear is the background noise.
And that allows the software to accurately identify, isolate and remove the noise.But let me guess. You didn’t record 30 seconds of silent video first. It’s OK, almost no one does. All is not lost.
It will just make your job harder, but not impossible.It’s Easy To Remove ThisThe next thing you need to know is what noise is easy to remove from videos and what noise is not. We’ll start with the easy noise.The only noise that is easy to remove from videos is white noise. That means a constant, predictable, never-changing noise.Hum from lights is white noise. An air conditioner or furnace running is white noise.
A fan is white noise. Basically any noise where the frequency never changes is white noise.If you have this type of noise in your video, congratulations. It’s easy for software to remove this. ButIt’s Almost Impossible To Remove ThisIf you don’t have white noise, that leaves all of the other noise offenders. Like people talking in the background, cars, birds chirping, lawn mowers running, doors slamming, foot traffic or the worst of them all; wind.If your video has this type of noise, it’s almost impossible to completely remove it without destroying your good audio too. That’s just the reality, so don’t believe the sales pitches that tell you otherwise.But really, the only way to know how much background noise you can remove from your videos is to give it a try and see how it sounds.

I’ll Just Do This Instead.If you’ve read this far, you’ve discovered the inevitable truth; removing background noise from video either doesn’t work as well as you’d hoped or it totally screws up your good audio along the way.So what do you do then?Easy. Instead of trying to fix the audio issues, just mask them. And to do that, all you need to do is add some background music to your video.Often times, this low background music is enough to mask the noise.
At least enough so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.To add background music to your videos, follow these steps:1. Find some background music you’d like use.
One of my favorite places is.2. In your video editing software, add your background music track to your video and set the volume level of your background music fairly lowenough to help mask the noise, while not so much to drown out the good audio.3.
