How to Fix White Noise in a Mic
When recording audio on your computer or portable device via a microphone, you may notice some white noise in the background. Finding a way to correct the white noise with the mic is extremely important because the noise often is disruptive and may draw focus away from the primary audio. Reducing or eliminating white noise often is as simple as moving the mic to a different location or placing a protective covering over the recording device.
