What's happening
Wind noise is the rumble and popping you get when moving air hits the mic. Outdoors it comes in gusts, a low roar that swells and drops, sometimes with loud thumps that swamp the voice. It's worst on phones, action cameras and small clip-on mics without a foam or fur cover.
fix.fm looks for low, rumbling sound that swings up and down in gusts, which sets wind apart from a steady fan or traffic, and counts how much of the recording has it. Wind on 5% of the recording is enough to notice. Past 35%, it's there on nearly every sentence.
How it works here
- 01
Finds the gusts
It looks for low rumble that comes and goes, which is how wind sets itself apart from a steady fan or traffic.
- 02
Cuts the rumble
A steep filter under your voice removes the deep roar, set per file so it doesn't thin the voice. Then gusts above it are turned down moment by moment.

Stays on your computer

Questions
Can wind noise be removed completely?
Most of the rumble, yes. It lives below the voice, so it can be cut cleanly. A gust hard enough to drown out a word is different: the word under it is gone, and the fix can only turn the gust down.
Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and fixed inside this browser tab and never leaves your computer.
Can I remove wind noise from a phone or GoPro video?
Yes. Drop in the video file and fix.fm cleans its sound. You download the fixed audio as WAV or MP3 and put it back under the video in your editor.
How do I stop wind noise next time?
Use a fluffy windscreen, often called a dead cat, on the mic. Foam alone helps a little. Stand with your back to the wind, and keep the mic close so the voice is louder than the air.
