here is my attempt - I first converted to a 32bit wav and did everything then
converted to mp3 at the end. Then I got rid of the lower frequencies after
checking where the call was in frequency space, then used a couple of noise
profiles in the Audition noise reduction system, then raised the volume using a
limiter rather than just amplitude because the peaks are irrelevant (not call
related) so I could go a bit higher than just using normalise. I could have
gone quite a bit more aggressively with the limiting.
