 method?:

No. Noise-removing algorithms damage the sound irreparably. There are of us=
e in forensics, and in constructing mixes for film, where destroying the am=
bience of a particular clip doesn't matter because another ambience is bein=
g mixed in.

The way to avoid hiss is to get the mics closer to the source, or use quiet=
er mics.
