Hi everybody,
My HTC phone got crazy and some phone conversations have some kind of noise, i even don't know how to name it. Just take a look at this file:
http://ms.netlandia.pl/audacity/w1.mp3
This noise is present only for the other side of the phone conversation, my voice is OK. Does anyone of you know how to get rid of this in Audacity ?
Regards,

I've had a go at reducing the distortion, (a before & after example attached, wav in zip file),
However I doubt Audacity or any other software could get rid of it completely.

Re: How to get rid of this irritating noise ?
I'd be surprised if you could help it at all. It sounds like a sampling error. Does their phone always do that? Back in the bad old days, we used to get a similar problem when a power supply failed inside a piece of audio equipment. Most of the time it would just hum like crazy, and it would be obvious what happened. Sometimes it would chop the show sound in 60 or 120 snippets per second and it would sound exactly like that clip.
Without ripping the clip apart with the tools, I bet there are really tiny times when the speaker's voice isn't there at all.

The distortion reminded me of interference caused by car ignition, (perhaps the other person was in a car with its engine idling).

Can you tell me how did you do that ?Re: How to get rid of this irritating noise ?
"Noise removal" in Audacity 1.3, (it's much better than noise reduction in Audacity 1.2), and "equalization".misiektoja wrote:For me it sounds much better
I've had another go (mp3 in zip)...
Unfortunately It's a matter of swapping one type of distortion with another less offensive type of distortion.

Yeah, you're right, but as i said before it sounds much, much better and for me it is just acceptable. Thanks for you help !Trebor wrote:Unfortunately It's a matter of swapping one type of distortion with another less offensive type of distortion.
