RNNoise: Learning Noise Suppression

It would be great to have a good open source noise supressing tool in VST format. The leading software solutions are fairly expensive, e.g. Izotope RX. Only Accusonus Era-N is kind of affordable, but at the price of not beeing tweakable at all.

By the way, good noise suppression hardware is also comparatively expensive, see for example the Cedar DNS 2 [1]. There could be some business opportunities in that area.

Xiph's implementation of RNNoise is licensed under the 3-Clause BSD license, so it would be easy to wrap a VST around it with a simple GUI.

I also really, really want that. Things that go some of the way are Audacity (which has noise reduction and spectral editing but is not remotely on a par with RX) and https://github.com/lucianodato/noise-repellent.

If somebody credible put together a kickstarter for a FOSS equivalent of RX then I'd back the hell out of it. Mostly I think what's needed is a GUI around OSS stuff that already exists, either as plugins or code that can be borrowed.

Maybe you never seriously looked at it because it's free and somewhat underperforms compared to commercial audio editors on other features, but Audacity's Noise Reduction filter is absolutely top-notch.
