NoiseTorch

NoiseTorch is an easy to use open source application for Linux with PulseAudio. It creates a virtual microphone that supresses noise, in any application. Use whichever conferencing or VOIP application you like and simply select the NoiseTorch Virtual Microphone as input to torch the sound of your mechanical keyboard, computer fans, trains and the likes.

Troubleshooting

Unfortunately, sometimes TorchNoise may display a "Working..." screen forever when loading the virtual microphone. This is usually due to PulseAudio crashing. If that happens, close NoiseTorch and try again, that usually works. I am working to improve this situation.

If you have a different problem with NoiseTorch, you can find a log file in /tmp/noisetorch.log. Please make sure to attach this when reporting an issue.

Building from source

Install the Go compiler from golang.org.

 git clone https://github.com/lawl/NoiseTorch # Clone the repository
 cd NoiseTorch # cd into the cloned repository
 make # build it

Make in this case is just a shorthand for

 go generate

To generate the the embed file for librnnoise_ladspa.so (You will need to build this separately, see the README file in the librnnoise_ladspa folder).

Followed by

go build

go generate only needs to be ran once, whenever you want to embed a new build of librnnoise_ladspa.so.

Special thanks to

• xipgh.org/Mozilla's excellent RNNoise.
• @werman's LADSPA/VST wrapper allowing us to load RNNoise into PulseAudio.
• @aarzilli's nucular GUI toolkit for Go.
