denoised audio doesn't sound right

[kevin-farhat]

Not sure why but the denoised audio sounds like cut off sounds or little pulses of sound that have nothing to do with the original audio. The original audio is a speaker with some background noise, but the output sounds as if someone is plugging in and out their electric guitar really quickly (like the speaker pop sound). I am new to this so I do not understand the underlying tech, but why does the generateNoiseProfile function overwrite the input audio file. Should i be passing the input audio file to the generateNoiseProfile function? without calling generateNoiseProfile, my input and output audio sounds the exact same. I am also getting the warnings below, but I believe I read somewhere that the divide by 0 error is okay. Any explanation of how to use this properly and what might be causing my problems would be appreciated.

Thank you for the help!

you don't need to do generateNoiseProfile

[kevin-farhat]

Thank you for your response. When I don't do generateNoiseProfile, the output audio is the same as the input audio with no noise reduction.

This is the script i'm using:

import os
from tqdm import tqdm 

# input_dir = '/home/ubuntu/denoising/DNS_data/datasets_fullband/noisy_audios'
input_dir = '/home/ubuntu/denoising/audios/noisy_audios'

output_dir = '/home/ubuntu/kevin/denoising/Audio-Denoising/'

os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)

wav_files = [f for f in os.listdir(input_dir) if f.endswith('.wav')]

for file in tqdm(wav_files):
    in_audio_file = os.path.join(input_dir, file)
    out_audio_file = os.path.join(output_dir, f"results2/denoised_{file}")
    print(in_audio_file)
    print(out_audio_file)
    audioDenoiser = AudioDeNoise(inputFile=in_audio_file)
    audioDenoiser.deNoise(outputFile=f"{out_audio_file}")
    # audioDenoiser.generateNoiseProfile(noiseFile=in_audio_file)```
