Talking or car sounds are not "noise," so the noise removal tools don't work.

The only chance of getting this to work is a gate system like ggate.

Or one home-grown.

Don't bet the farm on either one working. Noise gates are really hard to use and it's easy to make the show sound science fiction.

What the gates do is wait for the average sound to drop below a set amount and then turn it off. If you do it exactly right, it will sheer off almost all background noise.
