We deal with noise everyday in our business. We're sent audio from customers who don't sound proof before recording. Air conditioner hums have to be filtered out with just the right equalization without making the speaker sound like he or she is talking through a tin can. Dogs barking, telephones beeping, doors closing, and people coughing have to be carefully edited out without omitting any words.
And then we've got our own noise to deal with. The mourning doves outside our studio say, in only a way melancholy birds can, "I waaant some fooooood. I waaant some foooooood." Chewy the Chihauhau likes to do an occasional yip to scare .... uh ... something. I'm not sure what a yip scares. Nevertheless, that is one ferocious dog. And throughout the day, bells ring from an elementary school a couple of blocks away. Thanks to high quality sound deadening acoustical tiles in our sound booth, we've managed to kill the sounds. Our voiceovers are noise-free, thank you very much.
If it weren't for all the noise in the world, we wouldn't be in the audio editing business. We're cool with noise. We know how to control it. It's our job. One man's noise is another man's treasure.
