No. It's a cousin to "Essing" where people's SS sounds are too pronounced and annoying. DeEsser and DeSibilator didn't help.

Re: editing a loud audio recording
Koz - that sounds much better! A little "bassy" but better than the alternative. How can I replicate that for the rest of the track? What effect, what settings, etc.? To answer your earlier question in terms of setup, this was over zoom and I could see that my guest wasn't right up to the mic so it must have been a condenser mic. I don't know what brand or model. I'm an idiot for not immediately stopping the interview and having him adjust his mic volume but this is a pretty famous individual who does lots of interviews so I just figured the issue must have been my speaker volume. I was wrong.

Re: editing a loud audio recording
Select the track. Effect > Low Pass Filter. The settings are in that screen capture a couple of posts back.
It's not a big mystery. I found a couple of undistorted words and analyzed them to death. That low pass filter dumps all the tones that can't possibly be performer's voice—they must be trash. That's not always possible, but it helped a little in this case.
If the show seems too bassy, you can apply gentle Effect > Bass and Treble.
