... Does that imply that I could turn that analogue-hiss into the waterfall noise if I applied the appropriate filters in Audacity? And, if so, what in your estimation would that/those filter(s) be? If you're looking to create ghostly-whispering EVP-effect , Audacity's "Paul Stretch" does a good jo...

It appears to me that the internal integrated microphone array is perhaps optimized for the spoken word. Do you think that using a proper external microphone would improve the results and reduce the waterfall noise if all windows enhancements were turned off? Turning off all forms of noise-reductio...

My niece's Sony recorder has noise removal permanently turned on and she hears the water sound on recordings, depending on where in the house she places the recorder. "Noise removal" digital-processing converts old-fashioned analogue-hiss into that bubbly EVP-type noise , i.e. the noise reduction/r...

I see all the posts, all your posts are posted, I still didn't see those words, but I believe you. Do you have and use Skype? Skype loves to brutally take over sound services on the computer running it. If you like to leave Skype running in the background, you may be using Skype's Noise Suppression...

I read back through the posting. Nobody said the words: "We turned off Windows Enhanced Services." I'm guessing it's still running. That's what Services sound like when they're trying to cancel background noises on the built-in microphone. Koz I actually did but the post in reply to you has not bee...

Whatever the device was the music was loud and audible when she played it in front of the laptop. It seems from the statement that your niece is using the built-in microphone on the laptop to record the music. Is this correct? -- Bill Yes. It is the built in microphone. As I said in a previous post...

... Now we're more concerned with identifying the source of the "white noise" and understanding why it appears to be interfering with the recording functionality of the laptop and her Sony recorder. A common-denominator between two recording devices could be the quality setting of the mp3 your niec...

What I am hearing sounds like one of those sleep aid recordings of a waterfall or stream. Perhaps I can upload it so you can hear it. You can only attach files up to 1Mb to posts in this forum , so that's about ten seconds of WAV at 44100Hz monaural, ( not stereo) , which may be sufficient for us t...

There was some very distorted CCR music over some kind of white noise which sounded like running water. There was also some low level hum. If anyone has any idea what this might be I would appreciate your input. Could the "... noise which sounded like running water ... also some low level hum" be t...

Exported. Audacity will not Save an MP3. You missed a step. Capture the music. Play it to make sure it's OK, Export it as an MP3 and email it. Or did they do that and it was OK? It's usually a bad idea to include abbreviations in a question. Creedence Clearwater Revival, not a sound format? OK. Not...
