NOISEBOLT
NoiseBolt's library: 16 sound pads with hotkey badges, folders on the left and the player bar with Discord, Headset and Microphone volumes

The real app, recoloured live. Pick a preset:

Set up in three steps

1

Install NoiseBolt

The first-run set-up checks for VB-Cable, the free virtual cable it plays through, and takes you to it if it's missing.

2

Leave your chat app on Default

While NoiseBolt runs, it makes itself Windows' default mic. Discord, TeamSpeak and your games pick it up with no settings to change.

3

Drop in sounds and press a key

Drag in files, whole folders or a zip. Subfolders become categories, and any sound can have its own hotkey.

NoiseBolt in under a minute

Set-up, loudness, mic cleaning, hotkeys and the new in-game overlay.

57 seconds. Sound on; captions are built in.

What it does

Six things your voice chat will notice.

Separate volume for each appPro

Send sounds to Discord, OBS and your game at once, each with its own volume and a one-click mute. The lobby hears the airhorn while your stream stays clean.

Your mic, cleaned before it's sent

Noise removal, a smart gate and a compressor run on your voice inside NoiseBolt. Fan hum and keyboard clatter stay on your side of the headset.

Every clip at the same loudness

NoiseBolt measures each sound once and brings it to −20 dB. A blown-out airhorn comes down, a quiet clip comes up, and you can still nudge any sound by hand.

Trim to the good bitPro

Set where each sound starts and ends, preview it and save it. Stopping a sound fades it out over 80 ms, so it never clicks.

The Volume and trim window with volume, start and end sliders, Preview and Save

Hotkeys, Stream Deck and Touch Portal

Global hotkeys work in any game, free. With Pro, every sound and player control gets a Stream Deck or Touch Portal button.

In-game overlay, in any corner

Press Ctrl+Alt+O and a small card appears over your game: what's playing and your hotkey sounds. Clicks pass straight through it, so it never gets in the way. Pick the corner it sits in.

Quit mid-match and Windows gets your real mic and speakers back within seconds.

Questions

Is NoiseBolt free?

Yes. Free has no time limit and covers unlimited sounds, global hotkeys, mic cleaning and loudness levelling. Pro is a small monthly subscription for streamer tools.

Is Pro a subscription?

Yes, monthly or yearly. Cancel any time from your account and Pro keeps working until the end of the time you've paid for.

Does it work with Discord?

Yes, and with TeamSpeak, Zoom, games and streaming software. Your chat app uses NoiseBolt as its microphone, and NoiseBolt mixes your voice with your sounds.

Do I need to install anything else?

NoiseBolt plays through VB-Cable, a free virtual audio cable for Windows. The first-run set-up checks for it and takes you to it if it's missing.

Will I be left muted after closing it?

No. NoiseBolt switches Windows' default mic and speakers while it runs and puts your real devices back when it closes, even after a crash.

Does it work with Stream Deck or Touch Portal?

Yes, with Pro. Both plugins are built in: open Settings, then General, and install the one you use.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not yet. NoiseBolt runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit.

Which sound files can I use?

MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AAC, WMA and AIFF. Drop in single files, whole folders or a zip, and subfolders become categories.
