A closer listen

Forensic audio enhancement

The recording is louder. The words are still hard to follow.

Our core audio enhancement service works to reduce background noise and distortion so you can better hear what is happening. Media Medic’s audio engineers review your existing recording to see whether cleanup may make the words easier to follow.

For attorneys, investigators and other professionals working with recorded speech.

  • Free initial file review
  • An audio engineer listens before invoicing
  • Normally five days or less

The initial file review is free. Restoration is paid work.

What can audio enhancement improve?

A noisy call, a muffled interview or a quiet voice can leave you replaying the same moment. Audio enhancement works on the sound already in the recording: the level of a voice, the noise around it and the clarity of the words.

A useful result depends on what you need to hear and what was captured. Start with a free file review before commissioning restoration. You can describe the problem and any file-handling requirements in the request without attaching a recording or including confidential case details.

Quiet or unclear voices

Turning up a recording raises the background as well as the voice. A speaker may become louder and still sound muffled, uneven or difficult to understand. Reducing background sound can leave the same problem.

Tell us where the conversation gets hard to follow and which voice matters. An engineer listens for what may help that moment, rather than judging the work by volume alone.

Background noise

Hum, hiss, traffic or machinery can cover parts of a conversation. Reducing interference may help the wanted voice stand out, but heavy processing can also affect speech. The aim is a more useful listening result, with attention to the sound you need to keep.

Echo and overlapping speech

In an echoing room, reflected sound can blur one word into the next. When people speak at once, their voices can cover each other. These problems need a listen to the actual moment in the original recording. Some speech cannot be separated or recovered clearly enough to use; the review helps you understand the likely value of further work.

How your recording is reviewed

You don’t need to diagnose the problem. Tell us what you still need to hear.

  1. Keep the original unchanged. Retain any version you have already processed, and tell us what tools or adjustments you tried. Point to the same important moment in each version so the review can focus on what remains unclear.
  2. Request a free file review. Describe the recording, useful timestamps and your deadline. We arrange file sharing and an audio engineer listens before we send an invoice for the proposed restoration.
  3. Decide on the proposed work. Discuss the cleanup, cost and timing before going ahead. Normal turnaround is five days or less; a paid 24-hour upgrade is subject to availability. Include your exact deadline so the timing can be confirmed.

Sharing a sensitive recording

You can start the review request without sending a sensitive recording. Describe the listening problem without confidential names or case details, and add any requirements about transferring the file, who may access it or how long it may be retained.

Submit those questions with the form; you don’t need to settle them before requesting a review. Keep the original unchanged.

Need a transcript or authentication?

Transcripts and authentication are available for additional fees. Mention what you need in your review request so the work can be discussed and scoped separately.

Enhancement addresses the sound of a recording. Clearer speech does not establish a speaker’s identity, prove authenticity or determine whether a recording is admissible in court. If you need a report or testimony, explain that need so you can establish whether a separate qualified service is required.

What customers could hear

Customers describe the changes they found useful, from clearer voices to help understanding the work. Their experiences relate to their own recordings.

Before you send a recording

Should I keep the original and earlier versions?

Yes. Keep the original unchanged and retain any processed version. Tell us what you tried, what helped and what remains hard to hear. Point to the same moment in each.

Which file formats can you review?

Tell us which format you have, or say if you’re not sure. Include any file-sharing questions in the same form so we can follow up about the next step.

Can I arrange the work remotely?

Yes. Media Medic provides remote audio and video restoration. Start with the review request on this page; file sharing and the proposed work can then be discussed.

How much will the work cost?

The initial file review is free. An audio engineer listens before we send an invoice for proposed paid restoration. Discuss what the work includes, the file you need back and any transcript or authentication requirements before deciding.
