Laughter from a meeting next door can be heard at times. People other than the speaker sometimes fade into the background noise. Some pointed questions were asked.

Boring technical details follow.
I attempted some noise reduction, to no good effect, except background beeping like a 1950s movie computer. The noise reduction sometimes completely removed any sound from the audience. I have some new gear – new microphones, phantom power supply – that sound much clearer, although possibly quieter.
I just trimmed the audio, removed pops, compressed the audio levels, & amplified it.
