You may wish to simply pull the soundwave down to "0" at the points of unwanted sound.
Put a "dot" or marker on the Waveline at the middle point of the sound.
Then put a marker on each side, pull down the middle marker.
You may need to adjust a bit, but often using an audio scrubber can be worse than the noise itself. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Quote: Hi guys,

I've shot a wedding video for a friend, and during one of the readings in church there were a couple of loud but brief noises picked up which I'd like to remove in the editing process. The options on PD11 seem limited, as does Wave Editor, and unfortunately I don't own Audio Director.

Wave Editor may be up to the task...
Expand the timeline, drag the yellow pointers to the desired IN/OUT points, click the Trash can.

Using a similar approach you can also copy/paste - room tone, for example - to replace the areas where there is unwanted noise.



Note the smaller of the two PLAY buttons at the bottom. It can be used to play only the portion that is selected, which helps in isolating the unwanted sound.

Thanks for the tip Barry.

Unfortunately I can't pull the soundwave down as someone is giving a speech at this point and I'd lose what they were saying too.

I was wondering whether there was some way of me being able to isolate and remove a particular noise. Kind regards,

Thanks for your answer borgus1.

I think my response would be the same as the one I gave to barry, in that I would prefer to be able to isolate the particular sound and remove it, as someone is also talking at that point. Not sure if this can be done! Kind regards,

If I understand your intent, what I would do is locate the start of the unwanted blip - and SPLIT. do the same at the end of the noise. Then delete the noisy portion and pull up the gap. Or paste room tone, from another portion of the main clip, into the gap.

If this destroys the voice, then a Wave Editor utility could be used to isolate the unwanted sound and apply various measures, such as EQ, to minimize it. Much depends upon the nature and length of the noise.
