What was measured

Noise removal effectiveness

How much of the unwanted noise is actually removed, and whether the tool handles different noise types or only simple hiss.

decisive for this rankingtransformation

This is the core job: a tool only ranks well if it actually removes unwanted noise effectively. (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◐ MixedIt handled continuous background noise such as AC noise and fan-like noise, but the report says more testing is needed for keyboard clicks, traffic noise, and people talking.Voice preservation⚠ StruggledSpeech remained understandable, but the original voice tone and character were noticeably altered and the voice quality was not preserved well.

measured on Noise removal effectiveness

Audo Studio◐ MixedThe tool reduces part of the continuous AC hum, but cleanup remains partial because residual noise is still audible after processing.Auphonic◐ MixedThe tool reduced low-level AC and breathing noise, but some background noise remained audible around 0.7–0.8 seconds, showing incomplete cleanup.Cleanvoice✓ WorkedRemoves steady HVAC noise well, taking out the constant AC hum and most breathing noise and making the output sound much cleaner and more professional.ElevenLabs Voice Isolator◐ MixedThe tool reduced AC and breathing noise, but a noticeable transient noise at about 0.7–0.8 seconds remained audible.Noise Remover◐ MixedRemoves AC and hiss noise, but some background noise is still audible around 0:07-0:08 in the cleaned result.
