The check.
When your browser can open the video, the check reads its sound and names background noise, mains hum, clipping, dropouts and muffled sound, with the time of each.
SOLIPSIUM Super resolution audio engine
Video sound
Remove background noise from a video's sound.
Drop a video and Solipsium checks its sound for noise, hum and clipping in your browser. You see what it found, then hear the first 20 seconds repaired.
Drop a video here
Solipsium checks its sound in your browser, without uploading the video. It can then repair the first 20 seconds of the sound for you to hear, with no account.
MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM, up to five minutes for the check.
Your first 20 seconds
After signing up, the editor repairs all of the video's sound.

How it works
It checks the sound before it repairs it.
The check in your browser names what it hears in the soundtrack and when. The repair of the first 20 seconds measures again on Solipsium's server and lists the reasons for what it does.
The 20-second try.
When your browser opened the video, the try sends the first 20 seconds of its sound as a WAV file this page writes. The result comes back as sound alone, with the reason for each step, and plays Original and Repaired on one clock. When it finds a steady noise floor, a reason reads: “A steady noise floor was found, so it is removed.”
In the editor.
With a free account, the editor repairs the sound of the whole video while you watch the picture in sync. The export keeps the original picture with the repaired track as AAC, in MP4 or MKV.
Questions
About a video's sound.
Does it change the picture?
No. A video export keeps the original picture with your repaired sound track. It leaves out any other audio tracks and subtitles.
Why is the try not offered for my video?
The check reads videos of up to five minutes and 200 MB that your browser can open, and the try then sends the first 20 seconds of their sound. A longer video, or one your browser cannot open, has to be sent whole, so the try is offered for it only up to 25 MB. With a free account, the editor takes videos up to 1 GB and 30 minutes.
Can it take music out from under the talking?
Solipsium's free try is built for speech. The try has no step that separates music from a voice, and its speech cleanup may remove music along with the noise. In the editor, Rebalance finds the voice with a speech model and turns the rest down; in an October 5 test, the music usually went down by less than the setting asked.
What about echo?
Room echo gets its own reduction when it is found with no steady noise, hum, music, clipping or muffled sound beside it. On a longer recording it works about 20 seconds at a time.
Which videos open?
MP4 files open in Chrome and Firefox, and usually in Edge and Safari. WebM files open in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. MOV videos open in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 27; Safari 26 and earlier cannot read their sound. MKV videos open in Chrome when their sound is AAC, Opus, Vorbis, MP3 or FLAC, and not when it is AC-3 or DTS.
Is my video uploaded?
Not for the check, which runs in your browser. Pressing Repair the first 20 seconds sends the first 20 seconds of the sound, as a WAV file; when your browser could not open the video, or it runs over five minutes, the file itself, picture included, goes to Solipsium's server, up to 25 MB. Solipsium keeps only the first 20 seconds of sound and deletes them within an hour. If you are signed in, a video you drop or choose is uploaded to your account and opens in the editor instead. The privacy notice has the rest.
