NoNOISE 3 review
A focused denoising plug-in with detailed controls and a 14-day trial.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NoNOISE 3 is a broadband denoising plug-in for audio restoration. It is aimed at professional engineers working with music, archival recordings, film and video location audio, and forensic material. The plug-in targets hiss, hum, rumble, tape noise, environmental noise, and other steady-state contamination inside compatible audio workstations. Its processing is non-destructive, making it suitable for workflows where the source audio needs to remain intact.
Its standout strength is control over the noise-reduction process. NoNOISE 3 samples source audio to create a noise estimate, then provides adjustable threshold and reduction controls, frequency-bin interpolation, and high- and low-frequency cutoffs. A noise-only preview helps isolate what the processing is removing, while estimates and settings can be saved, opened, and recalled. The plug-in runs through Audio Units, VST2, and AAX hosts, giving it a practical fit with compatible workstation environments, including Pro Tools through AAX.
Pricing is paid, with one listed NoNOISE 3 plan and a 14-day trial. The published starting price is 115.35 GBP, and the checkout price may vary by selected region. Compatibility deserves careful attention: the plan highlights Macintosh only, while the format listing also mentions Windows VST, and the product page includes legacy Intel Mac and OS X requirements. Choose NoNOISE 3 if focused broadband noise reduction and detailed processing controls are the priority. Choose an alternative if you need a broader restoration suite or a clearly defined cross-platform setup.
