Audacity: Best free audio editing software
Audacity is a free and open source audio editing and recording software with an impressive list of editing and restoration tools. The interface isn't the prettiest, but it's easy to use.
Audacity Noise Reduction Plugin is a one-click cancellation solution to remove unwanted noise from your room. An impressive tool for free software. The Click Removal tool worked well too, but use it with caution as it can drastically alter your source material and make it unsightly. Luckily, Audacity allows you to preview the edit to adjust the settings before making any destructive changes.
