How to Reduce or Remove Wind Noise on GoPro Videos

GoPro Wind Noise Reduction – 5 Ways You Need to Try

Way 1. Open Back Housing Door

GoPro housing is an accessory which provides underwater protection against flying debris, gravel, dirt and small rocks. If waterproof is unnecessary, you can open the back housing door to override wind noise through the engine or exhaust noise picked up by the microphone.

Way 2. Mount GoPro in a Better Location

The location where you mount GoPro camera is important. You will listen to loud noise if the camera is mostly exposed to the wind. Please don't place the camera right in the line of the wind stream, for example at the top of the windshield.

If you try to mount GoPro on the car, please make it closer to the surface. Extended extension arm is used to mount camera for shooting more area while probably producing wind noise. Don't make the camera in an area of high wind if you have to use extension arm.

Way 3. Use Accessories or External Equipments

GoPro officially released some particular accessories to reduce wind noise. WindSlayer is one which is designed for old models, including HERO 3/3+, HERO 4 Black/Sliver. It aims to help users to enhance audio capture with least disturbing sounds for high-speed activities or windy environments. External microphone is another option to decrease wind noise on GoPro video. A more professional external mic can generate better audio quality.

Way 4. Enable Wind Noise Suppression

GoPro HERO 5 and new models add the feature called Wind Noise Suppression to minimize wind noise. Multiple microphones help capture better sounds. Generally, the camera will automatically switch audio modes from Stereo to Wind Reduction. You can also use the Manual Control Setting (for HERO6 or older) to make Wind Reduction mode as priority selection. If you are using HERO 7 Black, please enable the Wind Reduction as following: Enable Protune > Select Mics > Select Wind.

Way 5. Try VideoProc

If you have already finished the filming but wind noise made an influence, it is suggested to use video editing software to reduce or remove wind noise on GoPro videos.
