Question Need to remove a piece of audio from a clip

[YoFavRussian]

Unfortunately when recording a conference someone left their PC on a line input and every so many seconds you can hear a noise that sounds sort of like a notification. Is there a way in Adobe premiere pro to remove or soften this sound?

Audacity can do this.
Load the file, look at the waveform.
Identify the ping spike, select and reduce its volume.

So I can do this even though the sound track is one track integrated with the regular speech track?

Yes.
You should be able to identify that particular sound ping, select it, and reduce the volume of that tiny part to 'not noticeable'.
You'll have to play with the amount of reduction so as not to change the overall audio too much.

I've done exactly this to reduce/remove clicks and pops from recorded vinyl albums.

As always, work on a second copy of the file, not the only copy.

I hate to bother you, I've attached an image of the audio track. This is a six hour long clip and it's just filled with the same noise from Windows over and over.

I'm a little new to audio still so I was wondering if your way could work across the entire clip.

Each of those spikes is the notification?
I'm not sure about doing it universally.

But select a couple, reduce that particular segment to very low volume, and see how it sounds.
Repeat for all the others.

Once you get the settings correct for one of them, repeating it for all the others should take no more than 30 minutes.

It's a system sound from something, but okay, if you think so, then I will give it a go.

Just Try It.
Working on a second copy...it won't get 'worse'.
