Is it clipping? (in audacity you can see that the amplitude goes right to the
top and bottom). 0 dB could well be clipping.
Do you have your laptop plugged in? Trying recording on
battery only.

Dear list,
I get too much noise (something similar to buzz) when I record my own
voice on my laptop.
I have used both Audacity and GStreamer. When I set recording volume
control to 0dB, recording gets too much noise
The internal microphone gets so much noise that voice is distorted
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1446304).
Looking at this it is clearly clipping. That will distort your voice. Turn
down the recording amplitude.
The external microphone doesn’t distort my voice, but the buzz prevents
me from using the computer to record my voice with the external mic
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1446305).
This is also clipping but not as badly. There is a lot of noise which really
looks like
It sounds to me likie a huge amount of noise from the not well shielded
interenal noise to the sound card. Buy a decent external usb sound card. Or
buy a better computer.
BTW, I asked the same question on the PulseAudio mailing list. I
confirmed that "pasuspender audacity" recorded much noise too, so they
redirected me to ALSA.
I don’t know whether the issue comes from, but I really need your help
to fix it.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
What sort of mic is it? Coil or condenser? Have you tried any other
kinds/makes?

I'm an idiot.. At least this [bug] took about 5 minutes to find..
We need to find some new terms to describe the rest of us mere mortals
then.
