Just play around with it enough so that your clip sounds the way you want it to. Once you’ve successfully removed the noise, send the clip back to Premiere by hitting “Command+S.” This will place the altered clip right back into your timeline as it was before. You can increase or decrease the amount of noise reduction, or play with the decibel levels. This is where you’ll begin to play with the reduction of the noise. Now, click anywhere on the timeline, then go back up to Effects>Noise Reduction/Restoration, and hit Noise Reduction(process). That way it can remove the sound from the rest of the clip, but not the dialogue. What this does is take the piece you’ve selected and identifies background noise.

Then, go to “Effects” and select “Remove Grain.” Drag this onto your composition and then go to the “Effects Controls” for the “Remove Grain” effect. Hello, I was almost finished editing a video in Premier Rush, put the laptop away for a bit, and when I reopened it the audio was completely distorted. So, select the clip you want to work on, right click and hit “Replace with After Effects Composition.” This will open up After Effects. So for this quick fix we’ll be working in After Effects.
