Cadmus is a Python GUI application that provides real-time microphone noise suppression on Linux by wrapping @werman's PulseAudio noise suppression plugin. It adds a tray icon to select a microphone and creates a denoised virtual PulseAudio input usable in any communication app.

Use cases

  • remove background noise from microphone on linux
  • suppress typing noise in discord calls
  • denoise mic for zoom or skype without command line
  • create a virtual noise-cancelled microphone in pulseaudio
  • real-time voice noise suppression gui

When to choose

  • you need a simple GUI for real-time mic noise suppression on Linux with PulseAudio

When to avoid

  • the project is deprecated - use NoiseTorch instead
  • you use PipeWire rather than PulseAudio
  • you need Windows or macOS support
