That metallic sound is annoying 
The metallic, tin-like sound you may hear in your audio is an unwelcome annoyance. All audio editing platforms like Audacity, Adobe Audition, and AVID have tools to help, but itâs not a sure fix.
In Audacity, which is a free open source audio recording and editing application, you can use their âequalizationâ effects tool. Most times you can significantly remove or completely eliminate the unwanted sound by reducing the frequency range where you hear the metallic sound. Typically you hear metallic, tinny sounds in the range of 7 kilohertz to 9 kilohertz.
Audacity Step-by-step 
Step 1
Open Audacity, click âFileâ and âOpenâ and locate the file you want to fix.
Step 2
Click âPlayâ and locate the section with the metallic, tin-like sound. Once you have located the section, click âStopâ
Step 3
Drag the cursor over the part with the metallic sound to highlight
Step 4
Click âEditâ and select âEqualizationâ
Step 5
In the Equalization dialogue box, double-click around 8 kilohertz on the equalization line to insert a plot mark
Step 6
Double-click on 7 kilohertz and 9 kilohertz to create two more plot marks
Step 7
Click and hold the 8 kilohertz plot mark and drag the mark down do the -24 dB level. The equalization line should look like a flat line with a dip near the end
Step 8
Click âPreviewâ to review how much youâve reduced the sound
Step 9
Drag the bottom plot mark to the left if you can still hear a âhigh-pitchedâ metallic sound. Drag this mark to the right if you can still hear a âlow-pitched sound.
Step 10
You can further narrow the field of equalization by dragging the top-left plot mark a little to the right and the top-right plot mark a little to left.
Step 11
Once you are happy click âOKâ to save
