✅ Common Mistakes and Fixes
What Might Be Wrong | What You Can Do |
---|---|
Noise filter is too aggressive | Adjust the app to reduce noise without muting your voice |
Wrong input device selected | Make sure your interview platform is using the virtual mic created by the noise filter |
Mic access not granted | Allow microphone access in your system and browser settings |
Noise app blocks all sound | Disable settings like “suppress all background sound” that may affect your voice too |
🧪 Best Practices
- Test your noise reduction setup with a friend or recording tool before your interview
- Use only one noise filter at a time (e.g., Krisp OR system-level noise suppression)
- Close other apps that may use or interfere with your microphone (e.g., Zoom, Teams)
- Position your mic close and speak clearly — these tools reduce noise, but don’t boost your voice
