Clean Up Noisy Live Recordings — Remove Applause, Cheering and Crowd Noise

Upload your recording and we'll automatically detect and remove the audience noise.

If the clapping is louder than the music, this fixes it. Works on dance recitals, concerts, school plays, weddings and any live recording where applause, cheering and crowd noise drown out what you actually wanted to hear. The AI removes the audience and leaves the music and speech clean.

Hear the difference

The same recording before and after processing — the lit side is the one playing. Nothing else was done to it: no EQ, no volume matching, just the crowd removed. Turn the sound on.

What CrowdRemoval does

Applause, cheering and audience noise

The AI is trained to recognise the sound of a crowd specifically, so it lifts out clapping, cheering, whistling and background chatter while music, singing and speech stay where they are.

Recitals, concerts, plays and weddings

Dance recitals and school shows are the most common use, but it works on concerts, theatre, wedding speeches, church services and lecture recordings too.

Got a video? Extract the audio first

The uploader takes audio files. Pull the sound out of your video with VLC, CapCut or iMovie, clean it here, then drop the cleaned track back in — about two minutes of work, all with free tools.

Why a noise-reduction slider will not do this

Audacity and iMovie subtract a constant noise profile, which works on hiss but not on applause. Pushed hard enough to dent clapping, they make the music sound underwater.

What audio formats are supported?

We support MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, and most common audio formats. Files up to 200MB are accepted.

How many credits does processing cost?

1 credit covers up to 5 minutes of audio. A 12-minute file costs 3 credits (rounded up per 5 minutes).

How long does processing take?

There's a fixed startup time of around 30 seconds plus roughly half the length of your audio. A 2-minute file takes about 1:20, a 10-minute file around 5 minutes. You'll see a progress bar while it processes.

Do credits expire?

No. Your credits stay in your account until you use them.

What does "removing crowd noise" actually do?

Our AI detects and removes cheering, applause, and crowd reactions while preserving speech, music, and other audio content.

Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied?

If processing fails due to a technical error on our end, your credits are automatically refunded. For other cases, contact us.

Can I use this for dance recital recordings?

Yes. CrowdRemoval works great for dance recital recordings — upload the audio and the AI removes applause, cheering, and audience noise while keeping the music clean. If you recorded the recital as a video, extract the audio first using a free tool like VLC or an online converter, then upload it here.
