Upload a recording and get the fabric rustling pulled out: clothing noise, microphone cable rustle and fabric scraping removed while the voice stays natural. Free, no account.
The cleaned file is the free file. No watermark, no trial length, no account: files up to 45 minutes. A pass adds loudness levelling and a heavier repair pass for rough recordings.
Fabric rustling is the crispy, scratchy sound that happens when clothing or microphone snoods rub against the microphone pickup. It's common with lavalier mics, headset mics, or when the recording setup is loose. Unlike hum or hiss which sit underneath constantly, rustling peaks and valleys, but our model is built to isolate it and pull it out without affecting the voice.
On a recording where fabric rustling is the main issue, CleanGrab typically gets you most of the way there in one pass. Heavy room echo and reverb are a harder, separate problem: CleanGrab reduces light echo, but it will not fully erase a very reverberant room. We'd rather say that plainly than promise something the tool can't do.
CleanGrab is tuned for voice and speech, podcasts, interviews, calls, voice memos, lectures. On music or other non-speech audio the result can be poor, and the tool will tell you when it couldn't detect clear speech instead of handing you a mangled file.
Fighting an electrical buzz instead of clothing noise? See removing hum and hiss. A hollow, echoey room is a different problem: the room echo page covers that: roaring wind on an outdoor shoot is a different problem again, covered on the wind noise page, and the general background noise remover handles fans, traffic and keyboard noise alongside rustling.
Fabric rustling is the sound of clothing or microphone material scraping against the microphone pickup area. It's especially common with lavalier mics, headset mics, or when the mic snoods rub against clothes. CleanGrab removes this crispy, scratchy sound.
Fabric rustling, clothing rustle, and microphone cable rub all get cleaned. The tool works best when the voice itself is clear and the rustling sits underneath it.
Yes. Start on Balanced, then go Strong for heavy rustling, or Gentle if the voice starts to sound over-processed. CleanGrab is designed for speech, so birdsong and other nature sounds may be reduced as noise. There is no mode that isolates birdsong or keeps only a chosen nature sound. Changing the strength does not add that capability.
Yes: CleanGrab is built to isolate and remove just the rustling while keeping the voice natural and clear.
Your upload is deleted the moment it's processed and the cleaned file is wiped from the server within 45 minutes. Nothing is shared or used to train anything. See privacy.
Yes: shirt rustling against a lav mic is exactly the kind of clothing noise this tool targets. Upload the recording and set the strength to Strong if the rustling is heavy.
Not if that's a physical problem: actual rust or corrosion on a jack or connector causing crackle needs cleaning or replacing the hardware, which no software fixes. If what you mean is a rustling, scratchy sound from clothing near the mic, that's exactly what this page removes.
Get the mic closer to your mouth than to the noise, switch off fans and other humming devices, and record in a small room with soft furnishings. Clip a lavalier mic where clothing can't rub it and tape or loop the cable so it can't move. Whatever still gets in, CleanGrab can take out of the recording afterwards.
