livekit-plugins-denoise
Self-hosted noise suppression and acoustic echo cancellation for LiveKit SIP agents.
- Removes background noise with DeepFilterNet3 or low-latency WebRTC noise suppression.
- Removes the agent's voice when it returns through a caller's handset or carrier path.
- Runs in your agent process: no per-minute denoising fee and no language dependency.
This is an independent, community-maintained package and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LiveKit, Inc.
Why this exists
LiveKit's managed BVCTelephony noise-cancellation option is billed per minute.
This package is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed alternative for teams that want
noise suppression and echo cancellation in their own agent process without a
per-minute denoising charge. You still pay for your own compute, telephony, and
other services.
Install
python -m pip install livekit-plugins-denoise
For local development:
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
Enable noise suppression and echo cancellation
Create one TelephonyDenoiser for each call. EchoReferenceTap is required
for echo cancellation because it supplies the agent's outgoing audio as the
far-end reference.
from livekit.agents import room_io
from livekit.plugins import telephony_denoise
denoiser = telephony_denoise.TelephonyDenoiser(
telephony_denoise.DenoiseOptions(
echo_cancellation=True,
noise_suppression=True,
high_pass_filter=True,
auto_gain_control=True,
enhancer="deepfilter", # use "webrtc" for lower latency
stream_delay_ms=120,
)
)
await session.start(
agent=agent,
room=room,
room_options=room_io.RoomOptions(
audio_input=room_io.AudioInputOptions(
noise_cancellation=denoiser,
auto_gain_control=False, # do not stack AGC
),
),
)
# Add this after session.start(); RoomIO replaces the output during startup.
session.output.audio = telephony_denoise.EchoReferenceTap(
denoiser, next_in_chain=session.output.audio
)
To load the neural model before the first call:
def setup(proc):
telephony_denoise.prewarm()
See examples/sip_agent.py for a complete SIP agent.
Configuration
DenoiseOptions lets you control these features independently:
| Option | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
echo_cancellation |
True |
Cancels the agent's returned audio; requires EchoReferenceTap. |
noise_suppression |
True |
Removes background noise. |
enhancer |
"deepfilter" |
Use "webrtc" when minimizing latency is more important. |
high_pass_filter |
True |
Reduces low-frequency rumble and hum. |
auto_gain_control |
True |
Helps keep quiet callers audible. |
stream_delay_ms |
120 |
Starting delay estimate for SIP echo paths. |
