Hello,

Lately I've been listening in on the radio communications for the police in my town (Hobart, Tasmania, Australia). It's really interesting. And funny.

http://www.peter-johnson.com.au:8000/RadioFeed.m3u if you are interested.

Anyway, in between transmissions there is a horrible high pitched sound. Does anybody know of a playback program that can prevent this? The broadcasts are recorded live by some nice fellow somewhere and streamed over the internet. The program would need to identify certain frequencies and mute them and would probably be specifically designed for such a task. Ideas?

Cheers

This may or may not work.

If your audio drivers have some sort of interface you might wanna check there.
My old PC had different audio modes like "karaoke" that would cut the voices out of any music playing, and it actually worked surprisingly.

This is what I could find on my current PC
"Low frequency protection" might do the trick.

High pitched sounds are the opposite of low frequencies.

It let's you select the frequency in the settings.

But if that doesn't work do like I said and look for some sort of driver.
My old PC had something like that with an interface that had different effects that could be applied to the output audio.
It's worth a shot if you care enough.

Thanks UrbanMonk, I checked my enhancement options and they're pretty similar to your screenshot but none make much difference. Most seem to make it worse.

But! I did find a Winamp plugin called Stereo Tool 6.10 which has a noise gate, letting you mute all audio below a certain number of dB. Does the trick perfect!
