Background noise cancellation

It would be great for RingCentral to filter out background noise. For example, if I'm speaking while in my car via the mobile app or via ring-out to my phone, the other party should not hear the the car engine, honking, door chime, door shut, etc. If I'm walking on a treadmill, they should not hear the treadmill. They shouldn't hear kids in the other room, a dog barking, coughing, keyboard tapping etc. This should work via all channels, i.e., desktop soft phone (Mac), mobile app, ring-out. Thus I would imagine this feature will need to be implemented within your datacenter backend, particularly since ring-out doesn't use your software on the client.

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet both offer noise cancellation for meetings, using AI in their datacenters.

    Sometimes the noise cancellation makes the sound double or like you are under water.

    Hi there. I saw on https://www.ringcentral.com/us/en/blog/reduce-background-noise/ that "Noise reduction in calling on desktop will launch by Q4 2022 in open beta." Did that happen and if not do you know when it will come out? We're keen to get that asap. Thanks!

    Hi Jessica, I just figured it out. That "Background noise reduction (Beta)" doesn't show by default. I had to in the app Settings to Resource Center -> Suggested for you -> Background noise reduction -> Turn it on. And then that setting you mentioned appears. Thanks!

    Hi Jacob, please make sure you're on the latest version of the app-- 22.3.21. Just tested myself and it should be listed under Settings - Phone- General - Background noise reduction (Beta)

    Hi Jessica, That's great news! How do we enable the feature in the iPhone app? I don't see a setting for it under Settings -> Phone -> General as it shows in the blog screenshot.

    Adding a request for Noise Reduction/Cancellation via RC Desktop App. Noise Reduction is currently available via mobile app, but not desktop.

Within the older version of the RC phone app, you were able to toggle off the 'Automatically adjust microphone'. This feature is missing from the newer glip application which causes issues with some headset's where it sets the sensitivity so high ...

Noise cancellation for phone

You should add a feature to cancel any background noise. It annoys our customers to hear noises bc it interrupts our conversation over the phone.
