Removing road noise

Part of the audio of a project has 'road noise' -- there are cars (and the occasional truck) passing on a highway about 200 yards away.

It's not overwhelming in sound -- the voice (and it's all voice) recording is quite clear.

But the occasional 'car noise / zoom past' is distracting -- even if it's at relativly low volume.

I'd welcome strategy to reduce / eliminate that noise.

Right-click the clip in the timeline, click EDIT AUDIO and choose the Wave Editor (not available on the trial version).
Experiment with the various controls, especially the equalizer. May help.

It must be a dying art. I had 2 different program designed to do just that and they are both out of business. You may want to try the old stand by Audacity. It may have more functionality than Wave Editor. It is here.:

Of course, you could also opt to buy Cyberlink's Audio Director. (Free trial available)

Edit: I'm sending you a suggestion via pm.
