Noise Blocker

In the eventuality that you are regularly speaking with friends on various communication apps and they mention that your microphone makes annoying sounds, then you do not need to change your hardware. Noise Blocker is a lightweight application designed to help you block a wide variety of noises that may be disturbing your conversations.

The application comes with a clean and intuitive interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. It is worth mentioning that the app scans your system for the audio drivers and, if it detects any issues, it prompts you to reinstall the utility or update the drivers to the latest version. As a side note, the tool does not provide the links for the newest drivers, so you need to look for that yourself.

The highlight of the application is that it enables you to get rid of all the pesky unwanted sounds that are related to your microphone. This goes from the static you typically get with applications such as Skype to mic hum and buzz, laptop fan, mouse clicks or the keyboard typing.

You will be happy to learn that the only thing you need to do to block a sound is to record it. The tool can analyze the incoming sounds against the default list and mute the sounds accordingly. The result hence is a crisper sound.

As far as the compatibility goes, the program works with some of the most popular communication software solutions out there, including but not limited to Google Hangouts, Slack, Skype, Discord or Mumble, just to name a few.

If you grew tired of people complaining about the quality of your VoIP calls, getting muted while playing video games or do not want to toggle mute and unmute every time, then perhaps you can consider giving Noise Blocker a try.
