disturbing crackling in the record during camper holiday

Post by Luckyluke1945 » Thu Feb 18, 2021 4:32 pm

I am new at this forum and not so familiar with Audacity (vs 2.4.2) and my english is not so good.
My problem is the records, i made in the past, gave disturbing crackling in a regular way. Someone told me to use Audacity to filter these cracling out.
I have tried several effects but have no idea what i am doing. I attached a sample of my problem in WAV. If it is possible a step by step solution would be very helpfull.
PS: The lenght of the record should not be changed.

I'll tried the Noise Reduction Effect but not only the crackling sound is less but also the motorsound of the camper. I meant to get rid of the ticks/crackling(higher frequens) what is superimposed at the sound of the motor

OK, so you can try this:

1) Select a few seconds of your crackling motorsound.
2) Select Effect > Nyquist > High Pass Filter > 400 Hz > 24dB Rolloff > OK
3) Effect > Built-in > Noise Reduction > Get Noise Profile
4) Undo > High-Pass Filter
5) Select All
6) Effect > Built-in > Noise Reduction > OK

I hope this helps. (Why does this work?) :D
