Steps to Remove Background Noise  in VLC

Before guiding you on specific steps of how to remove unwanted noise from video files with VLC, you should know that the software can remove multiple kinds of background noise with different audio effects. I will introduce them separately and tell you which effect you should use for different kinds of noises. 

⭐General steps to head to the audio effects part in VLC: 

Step 1. Open VLC Media Player on your Windows/Mac. Click "Media" > "Open File" to open the media file.

Step 3. A small window will pop out. In this window, you can add audio effects, video effects, and synchronization to your media file. To remove the background noise from a video file, you should focus on the "Audio Effects" section. 

🤔What does each part mean for "Audio Effects":

  • Equalizer: Adjust dB for different audio pitch ranges, you can adjust it to remove echo from your video file;
  • Compressor: It is used to reduce the difference in level between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal;
  • Spatializer: It enhances the perception of sound originating from specific locations in a scene;
  • Stereo Widener: Broaden the stereo image by increasing the perceived width of the soundstage, giving a more spacious and expansive listening experience without altering the original stereo balance.
