The good news is that software exists that can automatically mute your microphone while typing or suppress background noise so that others are not annoyed by the sound of your keyboard.
If you commonly talk while typing, are using Windows, or want to suppress all background noise, background noise suppression apps are a better solution.
Background noise suppression apps use deep learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to filter out background noise from an audio stream.
For Windows 10 users with NVIDIA GTX and RTX graphics cards, you can use the 'Noise Removal' feature in the NVIDIA Broadcast app to suppress background noise from a variety of apps.
Noisetorch is an open-source Linux application that allows you to create a virtual microphone that suppresses background noise.
To filter out background noise in an application, simply select the virtual microphone instead of your regular microphone, and the application will filter out background noise.
