check you haven't got a mic input live - i got this problem when Windows decided to make the mic on my webcam the default device. the audio noise is probably feedback.

how did you record the audio? you might have to visit the windows control panel to see what Windows thinks is the audio recording input source

if you are getting audio input on playback the BIAB output from your speakers is being captured by something

Tell us more about your setup.

Are you using the internal audio, or a USB interface? .. Or(?)

First place I would look is the audio drivers selection.
See what is being used.
If 'What you Hear' or 'Mix' is selected on the input side for the driver (regardless of device) then your output may be getting tapped over to your input, which indeed would likely be noisier.

Option-Prefs-AudioTab-DriversButton .. what is selected as the input if you click that path?
Let us know what PT is actually using for the input.

If it's not a live 'mic' input (as mentioned above) it is likely a mixer setting somewhere in the chain, and the above selected driver may help us figure out just where that mixer setting may be.


Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

It's the PC built in mic.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
