Remove background noise.
On your Mac.
Drop in a voice memo, interview, podcast take, lecture or video. Soundproof strips out fan, AC, hum and hiss, then exports a clean, level file right next to the original — without a single byte leaving your machine.
$49.99 once — free to try, three free exports. No account, no uploads, no subscription.
Why Soundproof
One bad recording, one deadline
Every good noise remover wants your files on its servers and your card on file every month. This one runs on your Mac and costs money once.
Nothing leaves your Mac
The denoiser runs on-device. No upload, no queue, no account, no copy of your interview sitting on somebody else's server.
Audio and video
Feed it a recording or a video clip. Video is cleaned and remuxed — same picture, quieter track, no re-encode and no re-editing.
Share-ready loudness
After denoising it gates, compresses and LUFS-normalizes, with a peak guard so nothing clips. Every export shows its own loudness meter.
Batch, not one at a time
Drop a whole folder and clean it in one pass. Exports land beside the source as name (cleaned) — your originals are never overwritten.
Hold to hear the original
Presets for podcast, voice memo, video call and keeping music intact — then one strength slider. Hold to A/B against the source and judge it in two seconds.
Paid for once
$49.99, one time. No renewals, no per-file credits. Try it free for three exports on your own recordings before you decide.
Honest about limits
What it removes — and what it can't
Most denoisers over-promise. Soundproof is built for steady noise sitting behind a voice, and we'd rather tell you where it's reliable than sell you a surprise.
● Reliable
- Fans, laptops and air conditioning
- Mains hum and electrical buzz
- Tape hiss and broadband hiss
- Steady room tone and background rumble
● Varies
- Background voices and café chatter may remain
- One-off bangs, clicks and door slams
- Heavy echo in a bare, reflective room
- A recording already clipped or distorted at the source
