What was measured

Handling different noise types

Whether the tool performs well on steady noise, intermittent noise, and overlapping speech.

decisive for this rankingtransformation

Real-world noise cleanup has to work across steady noise, intermittent noise, and overlapping speech, so this is part of the tool’s actual performance. (3 of 3 judges)

What was given, what came back

Test input: Indoor Air Conditioner Noise · audio · group: background-noise-removal

Input — what we sent

A real-world indoor speech recording with a single continuous air conditioner noise source, used to test predictable HVAC noise reduction while preserving natural vocal quality.

Why this input is hard

· Removal of continuous HVAC noise
· Speech preservation
· Consistent background-noise suppression
· Natural voice quality retention
· No manual enhancement

Output — unretouched

Noise removal effectiveness◐ MixedReduced a portion of the continuous AC hum and some air/breathing noise, but cleanup stayed partial because noise was still audible around 0.7–0.8 seconds.Voice preservation✓ WorkedKept the speaker's voice natural and clear without robotic, metallic, or overly processed artifacts.
