I would have to agree with this. Be extremely wary of removing noise with a=
ny process. Even if you think you are not hurting the sound, it is likely t=
rue instead that you are simply not hearing the damage you are doing (due t=
o poor monitoring conditions or lack of experience).
I only use noise reduction when I do not need fidelity to the original sour=
ce, and when I am mixing the modified sound into another bed.
You can try some subtle EQ, especially if you find an offensive frequency r=
egion that also happens to be free of the signal you are interested in.
