John LeMasneyAudacity measures volume levels in decibels, or db for short. A level of 0db is the ceiling; anything above that will sound distorted. When recording a podcast, shoot for a level between -7db and -14db. That range provides a signal that is relatively loud

Find and remove noise in your recording environment Among podcasting sins, too much background noise is near the top of the list. To test for noise in your environment, use Audacity to record a sample of dead air. Then, highlight the sample and click Analyze -> Plot Spectrum. The graph you see reveals the decibel level of the ambient noise in the room.
My home office, where I record all of my podcasts, shows a noise level of about -60db. This has been fine for my purposes. A bare minimum is -50db, but even that can be audible. If your environment shows a higher reading, shush any noise makers and try another sample. Common culprits include fans, central air, and, unfortunately, desktop computers.
