noise suppression
Quieting unwanted audio
Noise suppression is the reduction or elimination of unwanted sound, whether through physical barriers, electronic processing, or algorithmic filtering.
Headphones with active noise suppression use microphones and speakers to cancel ambient sound.
In audio recording and calls, noise suppression removes background hum, static, or environmental sounds: The software's noise suppression made the interview usable despite the street noise outside.
