If you’ve found yourself facing background noise issues while using the voice-sharing tool on Discord, don’t worry, we’re here to help. Knowing how to turn on Noise Suppression on your PC, laptop, or mobile Discord app is a great way to ensure clear quality when chatting with friends on a voice channel. Discord’s Noise Suppression feature is called ‘Krisp’. This guide will walk you through how to activate ‘Krisp’ with three simple methods.
‘Krisp’ is a third-party machine learning, noise-filtration software used by Discord. This feature filters and suppresses background noise when on a voice channel and using a microphone. It uses its machine learning to suppress noises that don’t appear to be human voices, such as dogs barking, vacuums, or cars.
Quick Answer
Go to User settings > Voice & Video > Advanced > Noise Suppression > Krisp. Or turn the Noise Suppression toggle on in a voice channel.
