Reduces constant background noise (hiss, hum). For echo and reverb, use AI Echo Removal below.
Still hearing echo or room reverb?
Echo and reverb are non-stationary — they need AI to remove. The noise slider above handles constant hiss and hum.

How AI dereverb actually works
The convolution model of room reverb
Every recorded sound is the product of two things: the dry signal (the voice or instrument as it leaves the source) and the room impulse response (how that room reflects, absorbs, and delays the sound on its way to the microphone). Mathematically, the recorded signal is a convolution of the two: wet = dry × impulse_response. The impulse response captures everything about the space — wall material, ceiling height, furniture, distance from the mic. A bathroom has a short, dense tail with strong high-frequency reflections. A cathedral has a long, smeared tail that lingers for seconds. A treated studio has almost no tail at all.
To remove the reverb you have to deconvolve the recording — undo the convolution — but this is mathematically ill-posed unless you already know the room. You usually don't. The classical workaround is spectral subtraction or notch EQ, which estimates the average reverb tail in frequency space and subtracts it. Fast, but it dulls transients and leaves musical artifacts.
Why neural networks work better
Modern dereverb sidesteps the math entirely. The model is trained on millions of paired examples — clean dry recordings convolved with thousands of measured and synthetic impulse responses, then paired back with the originals. Through that training the network learns the statistics of speech and music versus the statistics of room tails, and effectively learns to mask the reverberant content in the time-frequency representation. Output is reconstructed via an inverse short-time Fourier transform. The result is closer to a true inverse than any analytical filter can produce in practice. If the reverb is hiding broader audio damage, run the result through Audio Repair or Audio Enhancer for further restoration.
Choosing the right tool: echo vs reverb vs background noise
A quick decision tree
The three most common audio problems sound similar in passing but need different tools. Persistent constant noise — hiss, hum, fan, air conditioning, line buzz — sits in a narrow band that doesn't change with the source. Use Remove Background Noise or the noise slider on this page; both apply a spectral gate that suppresses energy below a learned noise floor. Discrete repeated sounds — slap-back in stairwells, hand-claps in a hallway, distinct echoes you can almost count — are short impulse responses. Use AI Echo Removal on this page. Continuous diffuse tails — bathroom shower, empty bedroom, classroom, cathedral — are long impulse responses smeared across time. Also AI Echo Removal on this page; the same model handles both.
For muffled vocals, low-bitrate MP3s, or AI-generated voice artifacts, the source is degraded rather than reverberant. Use Audio Enhancer for general clarity, or Fix AI Audio for the specific phasing and warble artifacts left by text-to-speech and voice cloning models.
Manual EQ vs AI dereverb
Audacity and GarageBand ship with notch-EQ and spectral-gate plugins that can suppress reverb tails by hand. They work for very mild cases, but require an ear for which frequency band the tail occupies, and almost always leave the source sounding thin or smeared. AI dereverb learns the trade-off from data and produces a noticeably more natural dry signal — comparable to iZotope RX Dereverb at zero cost. To inspect the difference visually, drop the before-and-after files into the Spectrum Analyzer and compare the tail energy above 2 kHz.
