If you have Soundtrack....
In FCP select your audio track while holding down the control key-send to-soundtrack audio file project. A save window will open asking where to save the file, pick a folder or create one for these files and hit -save-, Soundtrack will open- find a part of your audio without talking,(room tone if you have it) click and drag in the grid and select just that noise, go up to Process-set noise print.
Then go to Process-reduce noise, a new menu will open with sliders. push the play button so you can hear your noise and move the top slider until the noise is almost gone. (if you go to far the vocals will start to sound very digital) play with the other sliders to get the right sound, hit -Apply. Make sure you save. Good luck
