How to Remove Background Noise From Calls

ByDoug Merritt

The quickest way to remove background noise on your calls is AI noise-cancellation software that cleans the audio in real time — it strips out the barking dog, the clattering keyboard, and the coworker two desks over on both ends of the call, no matter which headset or mic you use. Below is how to actually do it, and why a headset alone won’t get you all the way there.

Why background noise is so hard to get rid of

Most people blame their headset or mic. But a noise-cancelling headset only cleans the audio at your microphone — it does nothing about the noise coming from the person on the other end. So when your client calls from a coffee shop, that espresso machine sails straight through. Cleaning a call properly means handling both directions at once.

Three ways to remove background noise, worst to best

1. Your meeting app’s built-in suppression

Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet all have a noise-suppression setting now. It’s better than nothing in a quiet room, but it only cleans what you send, it varies a lot app to app, and you’re stuck toggling it in five different places.

2. A noise-cancelling microphone or headset

A good mic helps — but how much it removes varies, and again, it only touches your end. If the noise wrecking your call is on the other person’s side, no headset will rescue you. (If mic noise is your specific issue, here’s how to reduce background noise on a microphone.)

3. AI noise-cancellation software — the real fix

Software like neep sits between your apps and your audio devices, so it can clean noise in both directions — the noise you send and the noise you receive. Register your voice once and it keeps you front-and-center while quieting other people nearby. All the processing happens locally on your own machine, and it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux (including ARM). You just select “neep” as your microphone in any app.

How to set it up in under two minutes

  1. Download neep for your computer — Windows, Mac, or Linux.
  2. Open any calling app and choose “neep” as your microphone and speaker.
  3. Talk — the noise is gone on both ends. (Full walkthrough: how to set up neep.)

Final Thoughts

A built-in toggle or a better mic can help at the edges, but if you want background noise genuinely gone — on both ends, in every app — that’s a software job. You can try neep free for 14 days (no credit card) and hear the difference on your very next call.

  • Struggling With Open-Plan Office Noise? Here’s How To Fight Back!

    ByDoug Merritt

    Noise is inescapble, especially if you work in an open-plan office. In that environment, everyone sits out in the open and noise is everywhere.

    You can become easily distracted which causes you to lose concentration. And your caller’s can be distracted too, which for them, can be frustrating, and leave them questioning your professionalism.

    So what can you do?

    1. Try to get your Management to attack noise by installing sound absorbing materials, or cubicles or both. In some cases, this may be a longshot, but well worth the ask.

    2. Buy professional grade noise canceliing headsets for your voice and video calls. Look for a good quality noise canceling microphone, and a headset that has Active Noise Cancellation (to remove noise so you’re not distracted).

    3. Employ the use of neep noise canceling software. neep will remove your background noise, and it will remove the noise from your caller too. neep will also separate your voice from others, enhance it, and automatically adjust volume so you’re heard loud, clear and consistent.
