Extremely loud background noise
Hi, guys! Not an expert in audio editing, just want to know if it is even possible to clean such a file to more or less listenable condition?

Wow, this has to be one of the worst audio problem’s I’ve heard!
Anyway, i’ve taken a look in Audition. Firstly, there’s a load of noise and nothing useful on the left channel so that can be cleared and then the clip can be made mono.
Then you can go ahead and use the ‘Noise Reduction’ Effect by selecting a sample of the noise (a gap between speaking) ‘Capturing a Noise Print’ then applying that to the entire clip.
After that running an EQ can help to bring more audio focus to the speech. These are the techniques I often use on problematic clips but o be honest with you, I unless you know what was said, I don’t think you’ll be able to make much sense of it on this clip, but i’d be happy to be proved wrong;)
