In addition to learning how to deal with moire, I've been trying to figure out how to kill CRT or transformer whine. My mid 40s ears can't hear it anymore, but it does annoy younger people who see my videos. At the advice of Trixster (thank you!) I got my hands on Spectroid for Android. I set it to linear mode, and then marked where 15.5ish khz is, which is where i understand CRT whine happens.
I had a number of suggestions for treating this - the simplest one to me was to use a low pass filter to kill anything above 8-9khz or so. Premiere has one of those.
So first, I played the suspect segment with Spectroid listening. And sure enough, I could see a rise in the right region as indicated by the photo. I was a bit confused by Spectroid's scale, because to my eye it should be going 10,000hz to 20000hz but it looks like it says 2000hz at the end. However putting a marker in between shows it is 15,000khz in between.
So then I applied the low pass filter to the segment. The 15khz bump was gone, everything else sounds normal to me.
Is it that simple?
