What was measured

Voice preservation

After cleanup, does the voice still sound natural, or hollow, robotic, underwater, or artifacted?

decisive for this rankingtransformation

Noise cleanup is only useful if the speech still sounds natural and intelligible after processing. (3 of 3 judges)

Indoor Air Conditioner Noise

A real-world indoor speech recording with a single continuous HVAC/air-conditioner noise source. It is designed to test speech isolation and noise reduction when the background noise is predictable and steady.

Why this input is hard

· Removal of continuous HVAC noise
· Speech preservation with steady background noise
· Natural voice quality retention
· Background noise reduction with minimal cleanup

Output — unretouched

Also checked on this input — same tool, 2 other criteria

Handling different noise types◐ MixedThe tool performs reasonably on steady AC hum, but it is less effective on short-duration noises, subtle artifacts, and intermittent background sounds.Noise removal effectiveness◐ MixedThe tool reduces part of the continuous AC hum, but cleanup remains partial because residual noise is still audible after processing.

measured on Voice preservation

Adobe Podcast Enhance⚠ StruggledSpeech remained understandable, but the original voice tone and character were noticeably altered and the voice quality was not preserved well.Cleanvoice⚠ StruggledPreserves intelligibility, but the cleaned speech sounds artificial and somewhat robotic, with the speaker’s natural voice characteristics no longer well preserved.ElevenLabs Voice Isolator✓ WorkedThe speaker's voice stayed natural and clear, with no significant distortion, robotic artifacts, or unnatural tone changes.Noise Remover◐ MixedThe speech generally stays natural, but the tool introduces two volume dips around 0:20 and 0:24-0:25, which harms voice consistency.
