ElevenLabs, an AI startup, has added a new tool called AI Voice Isolator to their lineup that lets users filter background noise from recordings. The instrument solves one of the primary difficulties producers have in recording when undesired noises could contaminate material.
Starting Thursday, the firm made the new tool available on its platform. This follows the release of another free-to-use utility, albeit with certain limitations, the Reader app by ElevenLabs a few days ago.
How the AI Voice Isolator Works
Whether for film, interviews, or podcasts, the tool helps artists by filtering out unwanted sounds from materials. Unwanted noises like those of vehicles nearby, people speaking, and blowing wind abound for creators.
Though these are not readily available to everyone, producers employ mics with “ambient noise cancellation” in order to solve this problem.
“We just debuted our voice isolator on the X platform,” said head of design Ammaar Reshi of ElevenLabs. Reshi also detailed the instrument as follows:
“The finest approach to removing any background noise and extracting crystal clear conversation from your content.”
Reshi also posted a video on the same page showing how the AI Voice Isolator removes background noise from a leaf blower and produces “crystal clear speech from the speaker.”
Testing and Performance
VentureBeat, who tested the tool three times with random noises, said that it eliminated noises including clapping, opening or closing doors, and pounding on tables.
Sam Sklar, who manages corporate development, claims that the Voice Isolator does not yet work on vocals in music. Users can still attempt it nevertheless, and there’s a likelihood of “success with some songs.”
The VentureBeat tests also revealed that the tool does not identify or eliminate some sounds like snapping fingers and wall slamming.

Although the ElevenLabs platform is model-free, users who want to eliminate background noise from larger files could have to choose the expensive plans. These start at five bucks a month.
“We have a free plan on our site that comes with 10k characters/month, so it’s possible to use 10 minutes of audio per month for free,” said Sklar. The firm has also said that the instrument shows potential for development.
