How to choose
- Mostly video? Check that the app keeps the picture as it is. Re-exported video can lose quality.
- Private recordings? Choose an app that processes on the device.
- One-off job? A lifetime option can cost less than a few weeks of a weekly plan.
- Test on your own file. Every recording is different. Use an app that lets you hear the result first.
Built into iPhone
iPhone 16 and later can reduce background sound with Audio Mix in Photos, but only on videos recorded with Spatial Audio. Voice Isolation works live during calls and, from iOS 26, in recording apps.
Questions and answers
What is the best app to remove background noise on iPhone?
It depends on the recording, but for speech a neural model gives the most natural result. Noise Reducer runs one on the device and lets you listen before paying.
Are there free noise reduction apps?
Most apps are free to download and charge for saving or for longer files. Audio Mix in Photos is free on recent iPhones for Spatial Audio videos.
