denoiser
Signal cleaning tool
A denoiser is a tool or algorithm that removes unwanted noise from a signal—typically audio, video, or images.
In audio production, a denoiser reduces hiss, hum, or background interference: I ran the vocal track through a denoiser to clean up the room tone.
In photography and video, denoisers smooth out the grain that appears in low-light footage.
