Hearing Low Voices in a Loud Room

I am new to the discussions, and searched for a while in hopes to avoid being a (double) poster, but no such luck.
I have been given the job to clean up audio for someone. The tape has people sitting in the middle of a loud room talking with lots of random background noise.
The idea is to clean it up to where we can make out what is heard, amongst the random room noises. I have used low pass and high pass filters. I applied a Channel EQ filter as well. I also took several noise prints and tried to reduce the background noise, but there's so man variance in the noise that the reduction doesn't work took well.
I can hear them in some parts, but not much. Any thoughts? It doesn't have to sound good, exactly, just we just need to understand them.

You've tried everything that likely can be tried. Bottom line is, the frequency you want to diminish is too much the same as the frequency you need. Unfortunately, at some point, it's the best you can do.

  • Is there a way to hear the voice to the speakers with a microphone plugged in the combo jack?

    I have do frequent web conferencing with couple of people with me and one person on the other side. Each one of us takes turn to speak but we ALL  need to hear what the other person  on the other side is saying.
    For better voice quality, it is best that the speaker at our end use a microphone but we all hear the voices of the remote person through the loud speakers or any external speaker
    however, given that there is a combo jack in ThinkPad, as soon as I plug a microphone in, we are not able to hear the sound of the remote person through the laptop loudspeakers.
    Is there any configuration or any software that could make this possible?

    It's more of a hardware question than a Mac/PC/Audition question.  Specialist sound interfaces (usually USB devices these days) have a feature called direct monitoring which lets you do exactly this.  It's incredibly useful for all sorts of multitrack applications (including yours)--in fact, I'd call it essential for any serious audio work.
    However, very few of the basic built in interfaces now included with computers allow this--they're more for playing games or watching films than serious recording.
    I can't answer for the Mac specifically (still a PC person) but an external interface will solve your problem and improve your recording quality at the same time.

  • In call noise & other party doesn't hear my voice.

    Hello
    I'm living in Dubai and sure you can expect the temperature over here because this has to do with the problem.
    Right now for example it's almost 107 F outside.
    The problem is that when I stay with my iPhone 4 in the sun for a while and this happens almost 3 to 4 times a day, the iPhone will heat and when I use it I hear noise from the internal speaker and the other party will not hear my voice clearly for a while then will not hear me at all.
    This happens with internal speaker & headset and sometimes with the loud speaker as well.
    5 or 10 minutes after I go to an air conditioned place it will cool down and everything will be fine.
    I have tried to go to the carrier who sold me the phone for that problem but they require to see the problem live.
    They don't fix iPhones, they just replace them if they found a fault.
    Every time I try to go to them while I have this problem and until my turn comes, the iPhone is working fine as it cooled down.
    I have tried to ask them to take the phone for a check up for a whole week, they refused and told me that they aren't allowed to take phones unless they will be changed...........should this be my problem ?
    I also asked them to send someone with me outdoors for 15 minutes to see the problem live but they also refused.
    The only thing they tried was to upgrade the FW version twice and this didn't help.
    Moreover, today I was passing by another outlet for the same carrier and the problem happend so I ran into the outlet and asked CSR to hear the problem, I heared it, then I aksed him to communicate the problem to the other outlet, but amazingly he refused by telling me that this is out of his work scope and can't make sure that the problem is a hardware one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm not asking about how to fix it, because I know that this is a hardware issue, I.m asking how can I get my message to someone from Apple who can aid me with this problem.
    Thanks in advance and I hope I can get some helpful reply.
    One more question for you guys, does any one from apple follow up on this forum ?

    Well, this a little old I know, but I thought to tell the guys in here the update.
    A few weeks afetr my first post and while I was passing by near the service center the problem happened and was aggressive more than ever, I rushed to the service center and bypassed the crowed directly to the service agent who knows about my problem and gave her the phone and she was able to hear the noise.
    She got back to the service center manager and confirmed the problem but at that time they had no stock.
    A few days later they called me to come and pick a new iPhone.

  • I have a problem with my voiceover on my iphone4s. when i activate it i only hear the voice command but can't see anything. plzzzz...help me.

    i have a problem with my iphone 4s voiceover. when i activate it i only hear the voice comman bt can't see anything.
    Plz...give me your best advice so i can correct my problem thank much.

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • Spa3102 low voice

    good day, I'm having problem with our voice with our SPA 3102. When we call using PSTN line, the other party will always complain that our voice is too low, they can hardly hear our voice. But calling through our SIP numbers, we have no problem dealing with this kind of call. Another thing is that our SPA 3102 ring but there is no callee. I mean when our SPA3102 rings and we pick it up ,we can only hear busy tone. Hope you can help me with my problem.

    Try adjusting the PSTN to SPA gain and SPA to PSTN gain hopefully this should help you with your low voice problem on PSTN. For the ghost ring , try  setting MWI Ring Splash Length to zero.

  • Iphone 5 other person can't hear my voice - possible fix.

    Hi all
    I have a 2 month old iphone 5 replacement from Apple.
    Randomly around 1 in 10 calls the receiver says they can't hear my voice. Normally I will stop the call and it takes around 3-4 more calls straight away to rectify the issue. Highly annoying. This happens on the car kit bluetooth parrot as well as pulling over and calling normally.
    It was always my wife's number that seem to have the issue so I called OneNet (vodafone) to see if they could see any issues and after around 10 examples and call logs they can't find an issue. I actually got the same issues with some other landlines also so know it's not just one number now.
    Anyway ... Having read many similar iphone 4 and 5 5s threads I tried:
    1. Reset my handset and restored by iTunes to 7.04 and then my iCloud backup.
    2. Changed the sound settings to hearing aid mode and mono sound and also disabled the sound cancellation option. (Incase it was a mic issue)
    3. Tested at home and when the call failed once out of 5 attempts, found out that it is fine if you turn on the speaker mode.
    However ....
    I have had the call voice fail again and this time I sat there with the two handsets wondering why it wasn't working. Pressing the mute, and speakerphone etc.
    I then found out that if I pressed the home screen button and then "setting" followed by the turning off the bluetooth the voice suddenly came back on the handset!!!
    Is this a iphone bluetooth bug???  Does the iphone think that it stuck on a bluetooth device when you jump out of a car? Or if you are in a busy Supermarket and it's trying to find bluetooth devices? Does the bluetooth being on confuse the mics?
    Why when I turn off the bluetooth does the audio return to the receivers iphone? It must be that the iphone thinks it has a bluetooth device connected. This is why when you select speakerphone it works also.
    As I have said this has worked twice now so I will be leaving my bluetooth off unless I am driving to see if it cures the issue.
    I am certain this is not a hardware fault as my wife has had this with her iphone to me also once so why would she also have the issue on her iphone 5c?
    I know this is not the fix for everyone as some users do have hardware issues and are hitting their devices and some are putting cardboard into the iphone.
    Apple if this is a fault with the bluetooth then please look more into it on your next update, however it may just be that it's my old carkit or any other bluetooth devices interfering with our iPhones.
    Perhaps having the bluetooth on confuses the iphone randomly into thinking it's connected to a listed device when it's not, muting the mics.
    Any other thoughts on this?
    Cheers all
