NoiseTorch-ng is a Linux application that creates a virtual microphone with real-time noise suppression using RNNoise, working with PulseAudio or PipeWire. It ships as a small, statically linked binary with a simple GUI for two-click setup.

Use cases

  • suppress keyboard and fan noise on my microphone during calls
  • remove background noise for Discord or Mumble voice chat
  • create a filtered virtual microphone for OBS streaming
  • clean up mic audio for video conferencing on Linux
  • real-time noise suppression with PipeWire

When to choose

  • you're on Linux with PulseAudio or PipeWire and need real-time mic denoising
  • you want a simple, self-contained tool that works with any VOIP app
  • you prefer an easy GUI setup over configuring filter chains manually

When to avoid

  • you're on Windows or macOS
  • you need noise suppression for recorded audio files rather than live input
  • you need advanced audio routing beyond a single filtered virtual microphone
