He was a marketing and brand genius I give him that.

well you try recording music on a pc with a stupid fan that won’t shut up….
he did a lot of good and bad things… but more than “just a businessman” b.s.

I volunteered at a university radio station a few times and was taught how to cut out AC/Heater/Fan noise from a recording using audacity on what I think was my second time going in. Recorded a PSA about cancer screening.
It’s been almost a decade and a half so I don’t remember exactly how, but the point is that it was something they taught people effectively walking in off the street.
I’d imagine it’s different with a non-constant fan, but you can force computer fans to a consistent 100% speed through a handful of different ways.

i’m aware of this, but it definitely reduces sound quality

It’s just a low pass filter. Since human speech is massively out of the frequency range of a fan, you can just delete that whole frequency wholesale.

Audacity (or Cool Edit how the old guys know it) is a bit smarter. It can analyze a recording the noise floor and then just attenuate that. It’s bad for quality music but good enough to improve speech, old tape recordings and records.
