Audio Hiss
Display Text Audio Hiss
Description "Audio Hiss" is additional noise in an audio track caused either by an elevated noise floor or analog source material.
Impact Audio hiss is distracting to the member experience and can partially or completely obscure intended dialogue, music, or effects. Unintended signal noise will also be duplicated in downstream assets created from the source asset.
Severity Assessment Guidance
FYI Audio hiss is extremely low level in the mix and is barely audible without significantly increasing audio volume/levels.  It cannot be ruled out as creative intent, but does not interfere with the creatively intended dialogue/music/effects.  
Issue Audio hiss is very audible, either partially or completely obscuring the dialogue/music/effects or occurs over what should be silence and is clearly not creatively intended based on contextual cues. 
Blocker N/A
Solutions
How to Prevent Use high quality microphone preamps with low self noise. Record audio signal with enough gain that audio will not have to be boosted downstream to the point of introducing additional audio hiss.
How to Fix Decrease gain in the sections noted. Employ noise reduction to fix hiss where audio was improperly recorded.
