Reduce background noise in both your microphone feed and incoming call audio through a virtual microphone and speaker. Voice quality can be affected on poor connections, and some audio latency remains. There is a seven-day trial rather than permanent free use, so compare the paid plan with how often noisy calls disrupt your work.

Overview
Not yet reviewedProduct quality is assessed from original evidence. How reviews work.
Krisp is an AI noise cancellation application that filters background noise from both the microphone input and the audio coming from other call participants in real time, making it effective for users working in noisy environments and for hearing clearly when the other side of a call has background noise. The noise suppression itself runs locally on device using the CPU, not cloud processing, so that specific audio stream never leaves the user's computer, an important distinction for organizations with security requirements around noise cancellation. Krisp supports all major conferencing platforms (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex) and VoIP clients by appearing as a virtual microphone and speaker in system audio settings. The AI Accent Localization feature helps non-native speakers be understood more clearly by adjusting speech characteristics for the local accent of the listener.
Krisp's separate AI Meeting Assistant (transcription, meeting notes, and summaries) stores meeting transcripts and recordings in Krisp Cloud rather than keeping that data purely on-device, per Krisp's own security documentation, so cloud data-handling policies apply to that feature even though noise cancellation itself stays local. Krisp advertises a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, rather than a permanent free plan for new Meeting AI customers. Core starts at $8 per user per month billed annually, or $16 per month billed monthly. Krisp's strong suit is the breadth of platform compatibility and the local noise-cancellation model, it works with any application that uses a system microphone, requiring no integration by the conferencing platform.

- Not publishedNoise-cancellation processing runs locally on-device; Krisp's separate AI Meeting Assistant stores meeting transcripts and recordings in Krisp Cloud rather than purely on-device, per Krisp's own security documentation, so 'audio never leaves the computer' applies to noise cancellation specifically, not to meeting transcription/recording data.

Our Take
Its on-device noise suppression filters both your microphone and incoming audio across communication apps, while meeting notes and recordings use separate cloud features. Test it on your actual calls during the seven-day trial; no credit card is required. For ongoing use, Core costs $16 per user per month on monthly billing, or $8 per user per month billed annually. Choose it for a recurring call-quality problem, not an assumed permanent free allowance.
