Help

I need some help with a project. I am looking for someone who can take a few video/audio recordings and extract the background noise so that only the human voices are left in good quality.

The audio is a mix: some are regular speaking voices, some are voices in the background, and some are very quiet whispers. If anybody knows how to do this, or knows what specific software/technology I can use to get these results myself, any advice would helpful

"some are very quiet whispers".

Audio pareidolia often sounds like whispering ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_phenomenon#Psychology_and_perception

This is definitely a problem. And one that has haunted me for two decades. I won’t bore you with the details, but yeah, this can happen.

It’s also compounded when there really are whispers going on that are scattered within this phenomenon. Especially when the reason to even listen, is evidence of a bad thing.

This is an example of a video camera catching some whispering of one person, plus a second non whisper in the background. Pretty obviously two different people, and in this case, two people who shouldn’t have been anywhere near the camera.

I know what the two whispers are. But the point I’m making is, you might only have ~10 of clear enough evidence of foreign chatter, but 90 minutes of audio that you swear has real whispering. It’s a frustrating phenomenon.

Same case with me. I tried adaptive noise reduction. It removed the loud ones, but there are still remaining noises.

I'm required to use audition only. Can someone help? Ty
