Levels of Aggressiveness

Sets the noise suppression strength. The Least setting is the default.

You should increase the aggressiveness level to the next setting if you are speaking and the other party complains that background noise is making it difficult for them to hear you.

Do not skip levels; for example, move from Least to Medium or from Medium to Most. Try to select the least aggressive mode to reduce or eliminate the noise.

Note     When you change the aggressiveness level, you might change the way your voice is transmitted. It might sound tinny or mechanical to the other party.
