Hum sits at the frequency of the mains power, 50 Hz in Europe and most of the world, 60 Hz in North America, plus a ladder of harmonics above it that make it sound like a buzz. Clipabay finds which one you have and cuts very narrow notches at each of them, so the hum goes and almost nothing else changes.

Questions

Will it affect the voice?

Barely. The filters are very narrow, so only the hum frequencies are cut.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Clipabay runs inside your browser, so your file is processed on your own computer or phone and never sent to a server.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you do. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
