How to Stop Mouth Noise: avoiding lip smacks, saliva crackle and mouth clicks

– Professionalism 

Think of your favourite podcast; do you find yourself cringing at the constant mouth noise and audio interference while you listen? Most likely you don’t, and this is because in an oversaturated world of online content there is no room for poor quality product. 

We consume content daily, whether it’s a song on Spotify, a vlog on YouTube or a gaming stream on Twitch. As a result, most people have become used to high recording standards, whether they know anything about the technical side or not. 

If you’re serious about your content, you should be committed to quality vocal audio, through the performance of the person speaking or in the way you process the audio afterwards. This means being vigilant towards mouth noise in your recordings. 

Fortunately, you can find plenty of tips on good recording habits to get you off on the right foot.

– Misophonia

Did you know there is a disorder where people have unusually strong, unpleasant reactions to certain sounds? Those who have misophonia are affected emotionally by sounds like breathing, yawning and chewing, to the point where they experience heightened levels of stress and anger.

These types of sounds can be irritating to us all (try sitting in a quiet environment next to someone eating an apple) but misophonia affects people in a much more intense way, and is more common than you might think. 

Be kind to those who experience the disorder, by keeping your vocal recordings free of irritating mouth noise!

So, if you’ve tried every natural and hardware solution there is, and you still end up with lip smacks, saliva crackle and mouth clicks in your recordings, don’t worry. Removing mouth noise has always been tricky, but it just got a whole lot easier with the launch of Mouth De-clicker.
