What was measured

Handling different noise types

Does the tool perform equally well on steady noise like fan hum, intermittent noise like dog barking or door slamming, and overlapping speech?

decisive for this rankingtransformation

Real recordings contain different noise patterns, so performance across hum, barking, slams, and overlapping speech is part of the main task. (3 of 3 judges)

Outdoor Balcony Birds, Vehicles, and Surrounding Noise

A real-world outdoor speech recording captured on a balcony with variable environmental noise such as birds and traffic. It is designed to test performance on more dynamic, unpredictable background sound.

Why this input is hard

· Suppression of variable outdoor environmental noise
· Speech preservation in changing acoustic conditions
· Reduction of birds and vehicle traffic sounds
· Overall enhancement of noisy field recordings

Audo Studio◐ MixedThe tool handles environmental ambience and bird noise well, but it is less effective on sudden transient sounds such as chair movement.Auphonic◐ MixedThe tool handled continuous outdoor ambience and bird chirping effectively, but it struggled with transient mechanical noise from chair movement.Cleanvoice◐ MixedHandles continuous environmental noise such as birds and outdoor ambience better than transient contact noise, but performance varies by noise type and degrades on chair movement sounds.ElevenLabs Voice Isolator✓ WorkedIt handled environmental noise, object-movement noise, and continuous ambient air/wind noise effectively in the same recording.Noise Remover◐ MixedHandles wind/air and bird chirping well, but only partially suppresses a short chair/creak transient near the start.
