The two most likely candidates are sending your microphone through a USB hub and having a busy computer that has to stop recording periodically to go off and do something else. Don't use USB hubs with audio equipment. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#noise6 htt...

Projects with 2^31 samples or more (just over 13.5 hours at 44100 Hz) will not re-open correctly. Higher sample rates mean proportionally shorter times - so just over 6 hours at 96,000 Hz.

Recording your voice for your niece in Schenectady is very different from recording your adventures for a published audiobook....

The internal sound card is rubbish quality Most of them are. That's why I suggested going outside of the computer with that Behringer UCA202 and a short stereo RCA cable. That device uses high quality Burr-Brown ADDA chips. Someone did an actual technical sound check and the quality is good. Plus, ...

Noise Removal is not a gift from the heavens and in severe cases just changes the problem to a different problem. The Smoothing setting controls how Noise Removal works aroun...
