Re: audacity is making a weird noise

"weird noise", "not clear". That does not tell us enough to be able to offer any help.

Why do you think there is a problem?

a "thump" is heard during playback at many of the audio peaks.
Perhaps you could post a short example - just a few seconds in WAV format (see: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887)

We prefer to avoid duplicating topics. The regular contributors to the forum will see your posts whichever forum board you use, so there is no benefit to duplicate posts.

Do you still require help with something?

Re: Labels conversion

- is there a quick way to convert two point labels into a region label? The easiest way is to add a new region label, then delete the surplus point labels. Move the mouse pointer in the audio track above or below the label track until it "snaps" with a yellow vertical line to the position...

Re: Audacity Crashing instantly upon Launch

Try downloading Audacity 2.4.0 https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
Run the EXE installer, and enable the option to "Reset Preferences" when it appears.
