Hello
This is a newbie question. I'm running Audacity 2.0.6 on Windows 7.
I'd like to improve the audio stream of a video that was shot with a camcorder with the embedded microphone in a somewhat noisy setting:

Does someone know what I could try in Audacity to lower the background noise and make the interview more pleasant to listen to?
Thank you.
Any way to improve this so-so audio stream?

I don't think that can be improved, other than by re-recording it, either somewhere quieter (best solution) or with a more directional microphone, or with a microphone closer to the person speaking.
