Software noise canceling for Windows and Mac – neep

Many Windows and Mac users are looking for better noise canceling. So many of our applications today are computer based, and because of that, sound quality, and noise reduction are two things that remain highly important.

Whether you use a softphone for your voice calls, or participating in video meetings, how you sound to others, and how they sound to you matters. Of course you want to sound your best, and you certainly want your message to be heard, and understood. And you don’t want background noise to distract your callers.

  • Noise is distracting
  • Noise annoys people
  • Noise can increase stress and anxiety
  • Noise can cause your message to get lost in the chaos
  • Noise is known to lower productivity
  • Noise can make you appear unprofessional and disorganized.

So what can you do if you use Windows or Mac operating systems, and you use applications such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, RingCentral or any of the other popular applications for your communications, and you want to dial down the background noise?

Here are some common approaches that many take:

Get a noise canceling headset? Sure, you could do that, but there isn’t a headset made that eliminates all the noise. And because of that, noise can still find its way into your conversations leading to distractions, and misunderstandings.

Earbuds, AirPods etc. Though this is a popular headset wearing style, earbuds overall come up short in the voice audio quality, and noise elimination areas. And if that weren’t enough, most have limited talk time which can cut you off in the middle of important conversations if the battery gives out. 

Conference phone. That could work. After all, conference phones,  like headsets, have audio characteristics that are designed to optimize sound quality, right? Yep. Problem is, just like a headset, conference phones won’t eliminate all the noise, not to mention other limiting factors  associated with conference phones such as limited microphone range, and call content is broadcasted to anyone within hearing distance which puts sensitive information at risk.

USB microphone & computer speakers. The least desirable option, but as devices go, it can work, although its efficiency is highly dependent on the type and quality of microphone used. For the vast majority of people who employ this option, you’ll sacrifice voice audio quality and noise reduction and like a conference phone, the content of your call will be available to anyone within hearing distance. My vote? Two thumbs down on this one.

USB Handset. Finally, you could consider plugging in a USB handset. You’d still be facing these same audio challenges, most notably with noise cancellation. And when you stop to consider the inefficiencies of holding a handset while attempting to type on your computer keyboard, I’m sure you can see the problem. And if you go down the path of cradling the handset on your shoulder, make sure your health insurance premiums are paid up because you’ll be paying a visit to your Doctor at some point.

So What Do You Do?

If this leaves you scratching your head and a bit perplexed, you may end up defaulting to one of the options listed above. It would be understandable given the absence of a known solution. That is until now, because there is an affordable, simple solution that works with any audio device, and it will enhance sound quality, and dramatically reduce background noise. This is a new software solution called:

neep noise canceling software
