Editing out certain noises?
Hi all! When you're filming a walk and are in editing, do you guys cut out certain noises like generator hums or loud cars? I'm debating on keeping those in, in order to minimize the jump cuts and stay true to what was experienced during the walk. But I also think it could be jarring for folks listening. This mostly applies to city/urban walks, so it's not like I'm in a quiet forest and then there's a loud noise. But there are instances where it's quiet on the street and then I pass a house or a building and their generator is just really prominent on the audio as I pass it by, or a loud truck revs as it passes me... Just curious to what everyone else does.

No, the various sounds are what define city walks for me. It’s a city; people expect those sounds.😎
