What was measured

Voice preservation

After cleanup, whether the voice still sounds natural rather than hollow, robotic, underwater, or artifacted.

decisive for this rankingtransformation

A noise cleaner must reduce noise without damaging the voice; if the result sounds hollow or robotic, it fails the main use case. (3 of 3 judges)

Test input: Outdoor Balcony Birds, Vehicles, and Surrounding Noise · audio · group: background-noise-removal

Input — what we sent

Input file 1 — as supplied

0:00 / 0:00

A real-world outdoor speech recording captured on a balcony with birds, traffic, and ambient environmental noise, used to test enhancement in a more variable and harder-to-clean audio setting.

Why this input is hard

· Suppression of dynamic outdoor noise
· Speech preservation in noisy environments
· Handling variable ambient sounds
· Reduction of birds and traffic noise
· Overall audio quality improvement
