iMovie on an iPad

TeacherDay,

While there would not be a setting to lower background noise specifically on the iPad, check out the information in this additional resource that may help: Adjust audio in iMovie on iPad - Apple Support

Adjust Volume

1. In the iMovie app  on your iPad, open a movie project.

2. Tap a clip in the timeline to reveal the inspector at the bottom of the screen.

3. Tap the Audio button .

4. Do any of the following: 

- Turn sound off or on for a clip: Tap the Mute button  next to the volume slider. When the clip is muted, tap the Mute button  again to turn sound on.

When you turn off the sound for a video clip, a mute icon also appears in the upper-left corner of the clip in the timeline. 

- Adjust volume: Drag the volume slider left or right.

To make sure that the sound in your video clips can be heard over the background music, iMovie applies audio “ducking” to background music. Ducking lowers the volume of background music clips whenever there’s a video clip whose sound is playing at the same time. When a video clip’s sound is off, ducking isn’t applied.

5. Tap outside the inspector to close it.

We'd also like to invite you to leave feedback about this feature for the iMovie app at this link here: Product Feedback - Apple

While Apple does take the time to review all feedback that is submitted, they would be unable to reach out about submissions.

Cheers!
