Hi,
Is garageband capable of removing the hissing noise from an mp3 file. If so, how do I go about doing this?
Hang's suggestions about E.Q. are the option that can help in GB.
If you do this, try boosting the frequencies until you find the one(s) where the hiss lives. Then you can carefully cut/lower that frequency range to remove as much hiss as possible without hurting the part you want to keep.
If not, what other software is worth purchasing to acheive this?
If you want an app that specializes in Noise-Reduction, I suggest SoundSoap2.
It's not cheap, and I wouldn't buy it for cleaning up one mp3, but it has a very user-friendly interface, and does a good job of removing several kinds of noise.

Removing hiss/noise from amp simulator

Iv recently started to record using Garageband and just cant remove the hiss/noise from the amp simulator without compramising the sound i want for recording drastically. I use quite high gain as i play mainly heavy rock, iv tried turing the gain levels down but im not getting anywhere near the sound i would like to achieve. So do you know of any methods that i can give a go or will i just have to live with the results and compramise?
Many thanks in advance!
Scott

Cheers guys for the help, it went down a treat and now i practically have no hiss/noise on my tracks. Thanks very much for letting me get my music down as i want it, you were both very helpful!
Cheers!

Using Mac, how do I remove the hiss (noise floor)?

Using Mac, how do I remove the hiss (noise floor)?

Hi! Well, at the most simple, Audition has a noise reduction effect...try Effects/Noise Reduction/Restoration/Noise Reduction (Process). Highlight a short section of your clip featuring just noise, not any sounds you want to keep. Turn the amount of NR down on the sliders to, say, 20% and the Reduction to, say, 10dB, hit "Select Entire File" and Okay it. If the noise is bad, you're best off to do several passes at low processing settings. Turn up the FFT size (on the Advanced menu) and grab a new noise sample between each process. FYI, the reason for doing it 3 or 4 times with small increments is that it results in a lot fewer unpleasant artefacts.
However, as others have said, use of Noise Reduction should be a last ditch option, not a normal part of the process. I have 3 different M Audio interfaces now and none give me enough noise to worry about. As a first guess from your description I wonder if it's your microphone that's noisy and, if so, no amount of playing is likely to fix it...the noise goes up and down along with the programme material as you adjust the levels.
So...a bit more info and maybe we can make some suggestions for you.

Crackling and hissing noises in background of podcast audio

I've just recorded the audio for a podcast (two-person interview), and as I've listened back I've found an annoying crackling noise in the background at a few points. Any ideas about how to remove (or at least minimise) it? Also, at some points there is a kind of hissing noise in the background (almost like the distant sound of crickets!) - any tips on minimising or removing that?

Thanks for the reminder Richard and yes, I had done that via the "common" folder and cleaned out all the cache in the various folders. The result was negative, still had the issue.
So, I decided to move all audio (about 16 mins) on track 1 down to track 2, leaving track 1 completely empty of audio. Then I muted track 1.
The issue was happening at around 4:20secs into the audio. Interestingly, when testing Pr crashed when the playhead reached 4:20secs, right at the spot that I was getting the old "deleted" audio in the background with a lot of crackle. I restarted my Mac completely and repeated the process of moving all audio to track 2 etc etc... and once again Pr crashed at 4:20secs.
What to do?
I copied the piece of audio giving me issues from track 2 and pasted it into track 1. I first pasted it away from the problem area (4:20secs) and there was no "old deleted audio in the background with a lot of crackle" to be heard. :-) So I moved this piece of audio and placed it right above the 4:20secs problem area and reduced the audio volume to -infinity. I also muted track 1 again.
Then I played the entire video... and, Pr didn't crash and the "old deleted audio in the background with a lot of crackle" was gone. Gone kinda, because this is a work around and the issue is still there but suppressed for now. I have no idea why it happened and a more technical solution is totally welcome.
What do you think about the above Richard? Hope it made sense? Felt like it took 25 years to sort this out...

New P67A-C45 (B3) - Static/hissing noise almost in sync with HDD sound

I just bought a new New P67A-C45 (B3), fixed everything up, installed the realtek sound driver then i start to hear the static/hissing noise from my speakers.
The noise seems to be in sync with the HDD activity.
I research online and it seems that not only I have this problem, quite a few people having the same sound chipset on a Gigabyte board are also facing the same problem.
But all solutions is in the direction of mac, stating that a v262 driver have solved the problem.
Anyone got any idea about this? I am rally very irritated with the static/hissing noises coming from the audio..

Have a look in your manual of the included accessories with your mainboard. Note the 'Back I/O Plate'.
For this I think you all are talking about the back panel right? One of the tabs is touching the exterior of the ethernet port. I assume it should be correct?

What they mean is you need to remove the graphics card and unplug the cables from the motherboard and remove the motherboard itself, check the grounding screws (The screws that the mobo sits on and in to which you screw the mobo screws into to hold it down) and make sure that all of them match the holes on the mobo, if there are any that don't match Remove the standoff because it is causing the improper grounding you are experiencing. If you are missing any ("only using two"?) and have standoffs laying around, add the standoffs to the holes that fit.
I did this just last night and it fixed my reboot problem after I had done everything via bios and OS to try and solve it.
Done as well. The base plate in my casing for the motherboard was just fitting for it. I do not need any stand-offs, there were six bumps that align with screw holes nicely.

Removing background noise on only one of two tracks

Hello and thank you in advanced for your help. I am new to STP but well versed in FCP. I've recently discovered the wonderful feature of removing background noise in my video clips.
I'm having trouble with one instance though: I have footage shot with a microphone into only one channel of the camera. In FCP, I highlight that channel of audio and "send to" STP just as I have other clips. This time, however, no matter what I seem to try, both left and right audio channels show up in STP and I can't seem to separate them in order to remove the hiss from only one channel.
If I proceed as normal and select a portion of the hiss to set as "noise print" I can only select both tracks, not only the track I want. Probably a matter of a simple button, but I don't know STP well enough and the manual was no help. Anyway, continuing with the process to "reduce noise" and adjusting the parameters I hear almost no difference when turning the filter on and off.
I'm not sure if I've explained my scenario the best, but I'd appreciate some assistance.
Thank you!
Eric P

Eric,
Make sure the stereo file is open in the Editor as an Audio file. Click inside the editor window area and move your mouse pointer up to the top of the left channel's window border. If done correctly a tiny "L" will appear. This lets you know you can select the left channel, or portions of it.
Do the same for the right channel. However instead of moving the mouse pointer to the top area of the window, move it to the bottom of the Right channel's pane. Look for the tiny 'R."
Proceed as normal: Set a noise print, adjust parameters, and process. You'll find only the selected channel will be processed.

Hissing noise! UGH! HELP!

My iphone 4s just randomly started a hissing noise. I attepted to turn it off; however, it will not stay turned off even if I manually turn it off. It immediatly starts to turn itself back on. The phone is hissing through the main speaker. I can still hear if calling or playing music, however the hissing is quite prominent on my end. The hissing occurs consistantly. It is relentless. Does anyone know why this is happening? More importantly how do I fix it and make it stop hissing!
Thanks in advance!!

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Problem with hissing noise of earphone on nokia e5...

I have a new brand of E50 but It's a problem with quality of sound on the earphone speaker.During the calls I hear the hissing
noise.Is it problem of this model or my headset is defect?

Hey. Really sorry for late answer. i got same model (but i7 , r7 m265 )
For the fan noise ; check out gpu and cpu temperatures . clean the fan dust with power manager program. and update drivers.
for the battery , %1 wear is nothing . only affects 1-2 mins . battery has internal smbus battery fuel gauge and it automatically calibrates battery full charge capacity. but you can manual calibrate fcc with power manager. we are very lucky because on some hp ,samsung etc laptops , battery comes with %10 wearage (like my old laptop).
you post this message 6 months ago. if your battery wear is >%15 now , send battery to service. they will replace a new battery. if battery wear <%10 , your battery is normal

Hissing noise in monitors when plugging external lcd

Hi,
this is a bit off topic, but it's logic related in a way ..
When using an external monitor (lcd), as soon as the metal from the monitor plug touches my macbook pro dvi jack, my (audio) monitors produces a hissing noise.
The power bar i'm using is plugged in a wall outlet that has no ground. I assumed the bad grounding was the problem, but making a connection with a metal wire between my macbook and a copper pipe didn't help. I think if the grounding was the reason of the hissing, that should have solved, althought temporarly, my problem...
does that ring a bell to anyone ?
thanks in advance..

Hi jukea and welcome!
Wow, thats a tough one. First, make sure you don't have any audio cables laying on top of your power supplies/AC power in general. Check all audio cables in-line. Some audio monitors may not have adequate RF shielding, so move your monitors away from the display if you can. If this is a permanent setup and the power can not be helped, I would get and ISO box to loop through before I connected my audio monitors.
Maybe:

You would need 2 of those, for stereo inputs.
Good Luck!

Hissing noise from rear of mac pro

Hi,
My new Mac Pro has a hissing noise at the back of the tower, where the power lead goes in. Is it a power supply problem? Anyone out there with a similar problem?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello, thanks for the responses!
x4...: Haven't tried using another account; my computer has only one registered currently (it's spanking new)
I did try logging into safe mode - while I received no indication that it was on safe mode, all sound functions appeared to be terminated when I logged on after long-pressing Shift. Panicked in a small way there, ha ha.
Bart..: Quitting email clients (mail, gmail, outlook on web) didn't help
And nope - no one else logged into computer.
All this said, the sound has stopped mysteriously right now. There's a good chance it'll start again though (it's done this before, with no connection to newly opened programmes or anything)
Thanks, all!

Removing Fan Noise

I shot a wedding in August and it was terribly hot in the church. They had setup many many fans to cool off the audience, which was nice but the audio for the ceremony has the underlying fan noise in it. The groom was mic'd and the only other source of sound I have is from the shotgun mic on the camera, eliminating the fan noise at the time of recording seemed impossible with the equipment that I had.
I am able to do the reduce noise and you can barely hear the fan noise but it makes the audio sound like it is in a tin can, is there anything I can do to not make it sound so tinny? I have tried to remove the noise to the point where the tinny sound starts but you can still hear the noise very loudly, almost making the noise removal pointless.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jeff

If the noise is a very low hum (low as in frequency, not amplitude), try using the low cut filter under process . . . eq and filters.

Removing Digital Noise from CCTV Footage

I have tried the Noise Reduction filter from the Too Much Too Soon free plugins with no luck. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

Can anyone tell me how to remove 'moire-noise' in LR4

Hey
I might use a photo from an old brochure from 1971. I've used my scanner in 800 pix - so it's a 'heavy' pic, but I have a lot of 'moire-noise' in it. Can I remove this noise in LR4? - and if - how to do it?
This image is only 1600 pix - the original is 4000x5408 pix.
BRLars, Denmark

In LR4, use the Brush tool, set the Moire slider to the right of 0. Or is it to the left of 0? (I haven't actually used this yet). Well, you can experiment, as the editing is non-destructive.

Hiss noise from iPad2 speakers when launching an app that uses the speakers

A couple of months ago I bought an iPad2 Wi-Fi. It was working fine until yesterday that it started making a hiss noise every time an app that uses the speakers was launched, for example when the keyboard clicks sound is enabled it will make noise while typing (this is somehow annoying). Is this a known issue?
Is this a hardware defect or can it be fixed with a software upgrade?
Thanks.

i have the same problem: ipad2 makes noise every time when plays sound (music, video, games, typing)
i'm sure that problem is hardware..
the noise exists only with speaker: if i connect headphones noise disappears
