Remove Breath Sounds from Voice
Loud inhales between phrases pull attention away from the words. This tool detects breaths in the gaps and attenuates them, for a tighter, more professional voice track.
How it works
Between words the signal drops to breath-and-room level. A level-aware gate identifies those low-energy breath segments and turns them down, leaving the spoken words at full volume.

Frequently asked questions
Breaths are reduced, not hard-muted, so the rhythm stays human. You can lower the reduction if you prefer to keep some breath.
The gate is smoothed at its edges to avoid chopping word onsets; speech energy is well above the breath threshold.
Related but different: breath removal lowers breath sounds in place; silence removal deletes long silent gaps entirely. Use both for a tight edit.
Yes. The reduction amount is adjustable, so you can soften loud inhales while leaving a natural trace of breath for a human feel.
Yes. It keys off the low energy level of breaths in the gaps between phrases, which is language-independent.
It reduces audible inhales between sung phrases, though expressive breaths that overlap held notes are harder to separate from the voice.
No. It is a level-aware gate that runs as a quick CPU pass with no special hardware.
