If your audio clip contains dialogue, you can repair the sound by reducing noise, rumble, hum, and ess sounds.

Before you begin

Select an audio clip in the timeline, and then select Window > Essential Sound. Make sure you have automatically tagged the audio type as a dialogue clip.

How to repair dialogue or voiceovers in Premiere Pro with the Essential Sound Panel

  1. In the Essential Sound panel, select Repair.
Adjust the Repair options from the Essential Sound panel.

  1. Select the checkbox for the property you want to reduce, and then use the slider to adjust the level between 0 and 10:
  • Reduce Noise Unwanted background noise, such as studio floor sounds, microphone noise, and clicks, are often captured in recordings. The proper amount of noise reduction depends on the type of background noise and the acceptable loss in quality for the remaining signal.
  • Reduce Rumble Rumble noise has a very low frequency that ranges below 80-Hz. For example, rumble can be produced by a turntable motor or an action camera.
  • DeHumNoises with a single frequency in the 50-Hz range (common in Europe, Asia, and Africa) or the 60-Hz range (common in North and South America), like electrical interference due to power cables laid too close to the audio cables, cause a hum.
  • DeEssNoises with harsh, high-frequency S sounds, like sibilance in vocal recordings created by breathing or air movement between the microphone and the singer’s mouth, case ess sounds. 
  • Reduce ReverbReverb occurs when sound waves reflect off surfaces in an environment and blend with the original sound. You can reduce the reverb to make the audio sound like it is all coming from the same source.

Result

Play back the audio to hear the improved dialogue quality.
