If you are a Mac user, you may prefer to choose QuickTime Player as your first choice while recording screen, as it is completely free. This program can help you effortlessly capture the screen and voice from your microphone.

However, while speaking of reducing background noise in screen recording, you may need a professional noise cancellation software like Krisp or Soundflower, which can help you record without noise but mute background noise while speaking on the telephone or via VoIP. 

With the help of QuickTime Player and Krisp, you can screen record on Mac without any background noise easily. Next, let's see how they work to mute microphone while screen recording or reduce noise in screen recording: 

Step 1. Download and install Krisp on your Mac, then set it as your default audio source for recording.

Tips for Avoiding Background Noise in Screen Recording

Apart from relying on professional software, you can also get rid of the background noise in your recording by following the tips below: 

1. Create a Quiet Environment

The easiest way to reduce background noise is to create a quiet environment, as it might be the major noise source. So, if you are going to start recording at home, you can turn off the TV or other devices that may cause some noise, like fans, air conditioning, etc. Then close all the doors and windows, and start your recording.

2. Use the Right Microphone

Most time, the noise is coming from your microphone. Usually, the dynamic microphone is better than other microphones because it is generally less sensitive to ambient sounds due to the design of the capsule. This background noise rejection makes it ideal for podcasting and streaming in the home environment. So, if you are already in a quiet environment, you can use the dynamic microphone.

3. Place the Microphone in the Right Place

Setting up the microphone on a stand will help reduce the vibration. Compared to holding the microphone in your hand, it will not pick up the movement of your fingers during the recording. Moreover, you need to make sure the distance is appropriate.

The Bottom Line

This post shows you some workable ways to record screen without background, from changing the physical environment to using professional software. You can choose anyone to start recording based on your needs. Taking the convenience into consideration, we highly recommend EaseUS RecExperts here. It allows you to record screen without background noise with one simple click. Download it, and you will never be disappointed!
