Removing a specific 'clink' sound

Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone had experience or advice for removing the ‘clink’ sound heard in the attached file. I’ve tried Noise Reduction and Click Removal and while both reduce the volume of the sound, it is still very obvious. The problem is, the ‘clinking’ occurs during part of the speaking so I cannot just select & delete. Any input is hugely appreciated. Thank you!

Try the “Spectral Delete” effect: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spectral_delete.html

Removing all the frequencies above 8kHz gets rid of all instances in one fell swoop.
Speech will still be intelligible, but not hi-fidelity (audiobook) quality.


BTW I think the sound is a mechanical problem with your mic, or mic mount, (not electronic or human noise).

Ok thank you!! I didn’t think of that
