So, noisetorch says it’s potentially compromised: Release POTENTIAL COMPROMISE · noisetorch/NoiseTorch.

An improvement for the previous more dramatic formulation: Community code review? · noisetorch/NoiseTorch@b4bb8e6

This project is dead, i’ve failed you.

Thoughts and prayers (honestly! I loved it), with a heavy heart I keep looking.

Option1: werman/noise-suppression-for-voice: Noise suppression plugin based on Xiph’s RNNoise

Reading how to install it made me very sad, kept looking.

Saw EasyEffects mentioned, but it runs on Pipewire.

TIL Pipewire is a Pulseaudio replacement.

Installed via this guide: How to install PipeWire on Ubuntu Linux - Linux Tutorials - Learn Linux Configuration

Installed and ran EasyEffects using flatpak:

flatpak install easyeffects
flatpak run com.github.wwmm.easyeffects

EasyEffects’ GUI looks awesome!

Had to choose another input source in pavucontrol, then once the input is piped thorugh it - the effect “Noise Reduction” works! Removes both keyboard and random background white noise.

You can even save the config as preset and make it run automagically on startup!
