I’m working with a 15-second movie excerpt that contains nothing but a man’s grunts and a low machine-like hum. I need that hum tamed—just enough so it no longer distracts, yet still leaves a subtle room tone for realism. Please apply a moderate noise-reduction pass (iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, or similar are fine) without touching EQ, dynamics, or any other aspect of the performance. Once the background is lowered to a natural level, bounce the result back to me as an uncompressed WAV, same length and sample rate as the original. Acceptance check: when I A/B the files, the hum should feel clearly recessed while the grunts remain untouched and the overall ambience doesn’t sound “dead.” One clean WAV is all I need.
