From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use a gate filter to block sound that isn't up close and loud, it essentially functions like voice activation with configurable hysteresis. Then next I also use a RNNoise filter I think it's called, which is the machine learning noise filter that blocks unwanted non-voice sounds.
If you need a hand I can take screenshots or something when I am next at my PC?
Yes please! Or if you followed a tutorial, a link would suffice too
These are my app, gate and noise reduction filter settings, and the order they are enabled in for my microphone input. I am using the easyeffects flatpak which seems to include the standard noise reduction ML model.
You might need to study the gate settings for a minute to tweak them to your needs, I suspect you'll only need to change the curve threshold (-22db in my pic) to pick up your voice when you speak into it, but not background noises. You can use the db values shown in-app while speaking to help adjust it.
Thank you! This is really thorough!
