How can I stop this background traffic sounds?

[JohnKenShow]

Another thing to try is put Blankets up on the walls that will also help deaden the noise by giving it less surfaces to bounce off of.. you would basically be creating a sound booth.

Try this.. Get some Egg Crates or a matress to put over the windows.. this should deaden the sound some what..

And thanks for the suggestions.But my mom will kill me if I try to do something like that.

I always record my voice in a closed room, inside a Blanket, that's why my videos got awesome audio quality

I never personally had luck with noise removal, it always makes my voice sound horrible. I would say to either try to move to the other side of your house for recording or do what JohnKen said, the try noise removal as a last resort .

You don't keep it there.. you put it up when you record then take it down when you are done.

Exactly bro.Noise removal makes my voice sound horrible too.

Noise removal is the wrong tool. It is only useful for ambient background noise, so unless the hum of traffic is constant, it won't help.

The fix will depend on your mic. Turn the input volume down and get the mic closer to your mouth. This should help dramatically.

You're probably way over doing the noise removal. You should not reduce the noise down to nothing. Look at the waveform of the noise and try to reduce down to below -40dB. If you set the noise removal to larger dB value than the noise, then your going to remove some of the wanted part of the signal. More than likely, the frequencies of your voice will overlap with some of the noise.

Don't blindly follow the noise guide that is pinned to this forum.

I didn't have the need to use noise cancellation for ages but I remember that I tried all sorts of settings back when I needed it and almost everything sounded horrible. I will keep your suggestion in mind if I ever do need to use it again though .
