I wonder if its the algorithm degrading his voice or if the input sound is already degraded. Is it possible a leaf blower or a hammer would cause enough "noise"

I wonder if its the algorithm degrading his voice or if the input sound is already degraded. Is it possible a leaf blower or a hammer would cause enough "noise" to make it so our ears couldnt hear his voice clearly as well? Then when you subtract out the portion of the sound attributed to the leafblower, youre hearing the parts of his voice that werent being jumbled by the leaf blower?
- jacobush 6y agoLike the blown out whites of a photograph. You can adjust levels, but if the input peaked, there’s just no information left in the data.
- nickjj 6y agoHard to say because softer noises like typing still makes his voice sound like it's cutting out unnaturally. It's like the frequencies are being subtracted out of his normal tone, but it's more subtle than the leaf blower so you may not notice it without good headphones. It makes him sound very choppy and mechanical.
- simias 6y agoWith the leaf blower I suspect that when it gets too close the microphone/ADC is saturating, which clips his voice. I wonder if it would've sounded better had he attempted to lower the gain on the microphone.
