SoundSoap is the first pro-quality noise reduction solution that's also easy enough for average consumers to use effectively.
With just a few simple controls, anyone can remove unwanted hiss, room noise, rumble, electrical hum, and other background noise from almost any digital media file — including digital video (DV), digital audio workstation tracks, analog cassette/tape recordings, vinyl LP recordings, and more.
It could be the old LPs and cassettes you've been archiving to put in your iPod — that almost perfect wedding video with the annoying background noise — or the noisy guitar tracks you recorded last weekend.
SoundSoap cleans up clicks, crackles, and turntable motor rumble in recordings of scratched up old LPs, as well as the electrical hum or buzz from a guitar amp picked up in a recording session.
Broadband noise — like air conditioning systems picked up by a DV camera's microphone, or the hiss from analog audio and video cassettes — doesn't stand a chance.

Remove Click & Crackle
Buffs out scratches, and restores your vinyl LP collection quickly and easily. With a single slider, SoundSoap removes pops, clicks and crackles without affecting the audio you want to keep!
Noise Tuner
Helps you "tune in" hiss and other background noise you want to remove. The Learn Noise button automatically sets this control for you — or if you like, you can grab it and adjust it manually.
Wash Window
SoundSoap's unique Wash Window lets you listen — and watch — while it goes to work. The left side of the display shows the unprocessed signal, while the right side shows it after it's been cleaned. (blue = desired audio signal; red = noise).
Noise Reduction
The amount of roise reduction being applied can be adjusted manually with the Noise Reduction knob (or automatically by clicking Learn Noise). A low setting is good for subtle noise; for bigger problems, just crank it up and listen to the noise evaporate.
Learn Noise
The key to SoundSoap's "One-Click" audio restoration! Just click Learn Noise and in seconds, SoundSoap automatically profiles broadband noise in your signal and adjusts the Noise Tuner and Noise Reduction knobs to their ideal settings.
Preserve Voice
Helps reduce noise (and other audio) outside of the range of the human voice, and makes cleaning up dialogue tracks incredibly easy!
Broadband
These controls allow toggling Broadband noise reduction between Off, On, and Noise Only modes — Noise Only lets you hear what's being removed with the current settings, so you don't remove the signal you're trying to restore!
Enhance
After you've cleaned your audio, leave a super fine polish with SoundSoap's unique Enhance Slider. This intelligent dynamic control brings back any missing frequencies, and leaves your finished audio sparkling clean.
Remove Hum
SoundSoap removes hum (typically introduced by electrical grounding issues) with just one click. Choose 60 HZ (for regions with ~120 VAC electricity) or 50 HZ (for regions with ~220 VAC electricity).
Remove Rumble
With one button, SoundSoap virtually eliminates low frequency noise, or "rumble" including turntable motor noise, an idling truck captured in a recording, or any similar such noise below 40 HZ.
Transport/Timeline/Counter/Apply
These additional controls are found in the stand-alone edition of SoundSoap, and are used to start and stop playback, navigate media files, and apply noise reduction settings.
