Google meet is one of the most used online meeting clients that we use in our everyday life. It is easy to use, comes with interesting features, and can be accessed on any device. It does not require you to download any additional apps, so it does not take up a lot of space on your gadget. If the background noise is too much, then attending meetings online can sometimes be a little aggravating. Just for that, we have gathered the top 3 ways to remove background noise in Google Meet video calls.Here is how to remove background noise in Google Meet video calls:
Sit in a room with good isolation:
Sitting in a room well isolated can reduce the amount of background noise of a dog barking nearby or the noise that is produced by construction work. Also, try to attend meetings in that room of your house which is filled with sound-absorbing materials such as rugs, mats, carpets, and heavy curtains. Soft materials like blankets and rugs have the ability to absorb sound up to some extent. Also, you have to make sure that while attending the meeting you are not directly facing a wall, as it will reflect back your voice and can produce noise.Read also: Microsoft now introduces new custom background effects in
Turn off the appliances that produce noise:
Of course, controlling everything in your surroundings is not possible, but you can at least turn off the appliances in your house that may create noise. If you have pets in your home it’s better to stay as far as possible from them as you can. It is understandable that not everyone has a separate room at their home, but it is better to stay away and create boundaries from the source noise.
Remove noise inside Google Meet:
Using Google’s noise cancellation feature can also help you to reduce noise up to an extent. However, most of the noise-removing tools make your voice a bit robotic, but anyway it would be far better than that of a dog barking nearby.If you have tried the previous options and the noise is still there. It is the right time to enable Google’s noise cancellation feature.To enable noise cancellation feature in your Google Meet just follow the given steps:
Open google meet to join the meeting.
Before tapping on ask to join click the 3 dot menu.

Attending meetings or classes on your phone or laptop is very normal in today’s era. Online meetings have opened the door to get involved in any meeting on the go, but attending the meetings online does come with the cost of background noise. Dogs barking in the street, children playing in the lobby, can be very irritating and inappropriate at times. We have found 4 amazing ways by which you can remove background noise from your end in Zoom Video calls. Check the top ways to remove background noise in Zoom video calls:
Use rooms with furniture carpets and other sound-absorbing materials:
Have you ever noticed that in an empty room how your sound echoes? Yes, each and every room produces some amount of echo, we might not be able to hear it, but there is some amount of echo in any room. The echo can be reduced if you have a heavy curtain or furniture inside it.So, you should always try to do meetings in that room of your house which has most of the furniture, carpets and other sound damping materials. The microphones on devices are sensitive and can pick up even the slightest of sound. So, next time whenever you sit for an online meeting, make sure you try this method and see the results.Read also: Best ways to fix audio issues in Zoom meetings
Use the Microphone correctly:
Most of the people don’t know where the microphone of their device is placed, so either they end up blocking the mic on their phone or they stay too far from the mic of their laptop. Blocking the mic makes your sound muffle and noisy. The mics on the phones are generally placed at the bottom of the phone and on the top bezel in the case of laptops. So make sure that they are neither blocked nor you are too far from them.Additionally, you can also use an external mic if it is available with you, or you can just use any normal pair of earphones. External mic/earphones generally are better than onboard mics on most of the laptops.
Use inbuilt noise reduction tools:
Zoom is a really popular web conferencing tool that is used across the globe. It has many features and one of them is its built-in noise suppression tool.It reduces the amount of background noise from your end and offers clean and crisp audio.The only requirement in this is that you should have the latest version of the Zoom desktop app (5.2.0 or newer). If you have the latest version then follow these steps:
Click on the Settings icon on the top right corner.
Then, select the audio option.
Under the suppress background noise menu, you will find 3 stages of audio separation select any one according to your surroundings.
Another way to reduce background noise in Zoom Video calls is this one. Windows also has its own in-built noise suppression tools if you are on Windows 7 or later, then you can also find it in your system. Just follow the steps below to enable noise reduction:
Open hardware and sound option in the control panel.
Under the sound option, click the manage audio devices.
Switch to the recording tab.
Select the microphone being used and click on properties.
You will find a slider that controls the microphone’s sensitivity, reduce it and see if it reduces the noise.
