# How to Remove Background Noise with Claude

Claude makes audio cleanup a simple conversational workflow in your terminal. Provide the recording, let Claude run the isolation, and compare results through dialogue. Claude can batch-process multiple recordings in one session and flag any sections where the original audio was too degraded for clean recovery.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Remove the background noise from this recording using audio-isolator" and provide the file
3. Claude runs isolate_vocals and returns the cleaned audio
4. Compare the original and cleaned versions to verify quality
5. Download the noise-free recording

## Example Prompt

```
Clean up this interview recording -- there is significant background noise from traffic and wind. Isolate the voices and remove everything else.
```

## Tips

- Works best when the voice is louder than the background noise in the original
- Ask Claude to process multiple recordings in one session for batch cleanup
- The isolated output preserves the natural voice quality without artificial artifacts
