Alternative way to suppress the noise in microsoft teams

Question

When our mic is turned on in a Teams meeting or call, background noise around we—shuffling papers, slamming doors, barking dogs, and so on—can distract others. We need to suppress this noise. Right now, This sound suppressing is only supported for windows desktop and we dont have support for ubuntu

Is there any alternative way to suppress the background noise?

It's annoying that the linux client lags so much behind. We follow meeting etiquette and mute our mike until we speak :(. — xtofl, Feb 05 '21 at 06:41

I have one way to do it. You can install pulse audio in your ubuntu using the command

sudo apt install pulseaudio-equalizer

In pulse audio you can do real time noise cancellation. Here is how to setup pulse audio for noise cancellation => Realtime noise-removal with PulseAudio?
Edit: Found another way, It works very well. NoiceTorch - Real-time microphone noise suppression on Linux.

Just a hypothesis. Install a Windows VM inside of VirtualBox and Microsoft Teams in there to see if their virtualization of hardware such as sound controls your problem effectively.

I was able to achieve very good results with Cadmus - https://github.com/josh-richardson/cadmus. This integrates nicely with GNOME eg. and is quite easy to use.
