Bulk MP3 noise removal


Overview:

I have about 1000 MP3 files that I need to perform noise removal on.

I have used Audacity in the past for individual noise removal operations but Audacity will not cut it for this job. Audacity is unable to perform bulk operations and I don't have the time to perform this manually on 1000s of MP3 files.

A little about the noise:

The noise is similar to white noise but it differs slightly in every MP3 file, so a different noise profile will need to be built for each MP3.

The noise comes from a fan in the background (if you were wondering).

Question:

What is the best way to automate nose removal from the MP3 files?


Solution

  • You could try using Sox. It's a command line application so is scriptable. See here for further info.
