How to remove background noise from audio or video on iPhone
Short answer
To remove background noise from a recording on iPhone, import the audio or video into the VoiceFlow AI Voice Isolator, which uses AI to extract the voice and drop wind, traffic, music and hum. For a quick fix on a Voice Memos recording, the built-in Enhance Recording option can reduce some room noise.
Quick fix: Enhance Recording in Voice Memos
Open the memo in Voice Memos, tap the options button, then turn on Enhance Recording. It reduces some background hiss and echo, but it works only on memos and it does not separate a voice from loud noise or music.
Full fix: AI Voice Isolator
- Install VoiceFlow AI and open Voice Isolator.
- Import an audio file, a voice memo, or a video from Photos.
- Tap isolate. The AI extracts the voice from the mix.
- Compare original and isolated, then save or share the clean audio.
Tips for a cleaner result
Keep the microphone close to the speaker, avoid clipping by not recording too loud, and isolate before you add music, not after.
