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)

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

Noise removal effectiveness◐ MixedThe tool reduced AC and breathing noise, but a noticeable transient noise at about 0.7–0.8 seconds remained audible.Voice preservation✓ WorkedThe speaker's voice stayed natural and clear, with no significant distortion, robotic artifacts, or unnatural tone changes.

Adobe Podcast Enhance◐ 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.Audo Studio◐ MixedThe tool performs reasonably on steady AC hum, but it is less effective on short-duration noises, subtle artifacts, and intermittent background sounds.Auphonic◐ MixedThe tool handled continuous AC hum and breathing reasonably well, but it did not remove all background artifacts consistently across the clip.Noise Remover◐ MixedReduces steady AC and hiss well, but struggles when noise and speech overlap closely, leaving residual background sound and a volume-dip artifact.
