Awesome, thanks a lot! A couple things I read online said not to do it this
way, but it actually did work fine, so I appreciate it. I ran noise reduction
three times using different selections of silence. Not sure the third one did
anything, but the first and second both made it way better. Much appreciated.

While track is playing, use the [ and then ] keys to start and end selection on
a part of the track that just has the white noise in it, then hit space bar to
pause playback, activate effects menu, hit enter on noise reduction and
activate the get noise profile button - it will be best if you can select
something like at least 2 seconds of the sound, with nothing else being heard -
then select the whole track using ctrl + A, and, reactivate noise reduction off
the effects menu, and now activate OK button, and, it should try to remove
ssounds/noises that match the signature it derived earlier.

Hi all,
I’m a very new Audacity user with JAWS trying to reduce noise in the background
of a speaking track on a podcast. It’s noise from an appliance or something
(track was recorded in a kitchen) that makes a soft noise that sounds like wind
whistling consistently throughout the track.
I checked David’s Audacity guide (which is unbelievably helpful), and there
isn’t anything on noise reduction in there. Any thoughts on how to do this with
a screen reader? The guides for sighted people I found are quite unhelpful.
Thanks,
Sy
