Issue with background noise

Hi, We are trying to use Deep Squeak YOLO for our rats, but I is only picking up background noises. How can we fix this in order to detect calls only with a low of 20 and a high of 60 Hz? He has also tried using a post-hoc to run this as well which did not solve our issue.

The current rat network is very sensitive and best to use with clean audio files. You can always try the mouse network, it does well with rat calls in noisy conditions. You could also train a new network with your data so it recognizes your specific type of background noise and ignores it. An example spectrogram of the audio and false positives would be helpful for troubleshooting.
