Music removal is not the same as noise reduction
A standard noise reducer goes after steady, tonal problems: hiss, hum, rumble, air conditioning. Music is none of those. It sits in the same frequency range as the voice and changes constantly, so a noise gate or an EQ notch will either leave it clearly audible or chew up the dialogue along with it.
This tool runs on ElevenLabs Audio Isolation, which is trained to recognise human speech and separate it from everything else in the recording — including a full music mix. That is why it can lift a soundtrack out from under dialogue where a noise reducer cannot.
If what you actually have is steady hiss or hum rather than music, the AI Background Noise Remover is the lighter tool for that job.
Full technical detail is on the Voice Isolator model page.
FAQ
How do I remove background music from a video but keep the voice?
Upload the video above. The tool separates spoken voice from everything else in the audio and returns the clean speech track, which you can lay back over your footage in any editor.
How do I remove music from a TikTok or Instagram video?
Export or download the clip, then upload it here and you’ll get the dialogue back without the track behind it. The video file goes in directly — you don’t need to pull the audio out first.
Is this different from a background noise remover?
Yes. A noise remover targets steady hiss, hum, and rumble. Music overlaps the voice in pitch and rhythm, so removing it needs a model that understands speech specifically. This tool does that; the AI Background Noise Remover does not.
Can I remove the vocals from a song with this?
No — this is tuned to spoken voice, not singing. For music, use the Vocal Remover or the Acapella Extractor.
Does it give me back the video, or just the audio?
You get the isolated voice as an audio file. Bring it into your editor and lay it over the original footage with the original audio muted.
Will any music come through?
Usually not. The hard cases are clips where the music is far louder than the speech, or where the dialogue is already clipped or very low bitrate — there is only so much any model can recover from those.
What files can I upload?
Video: mp4, mov, webm and more. Audio: mp3, wav, flac, m4a, and ogg. Up to 30 minutes per file.
