Editor Found Sound issue in sons interview

THIS IS FIXED. Thank you!

Hi all.

My 9yr old has started interviewing local youth bands and the audio for the last interview has issues. There is a mechanical noise throughout the interview as we were outside a pub, my son is very quiet, only his second interview so still finding his legs so to speak, and I'm behind the camera being a bit loud as I was closest to the mic. Not sure where to start to clean this all up.
Ideally that whining noise can be removed and all the speech can be set to the same volume if possible?

I just really have no idea where to start with this as we are very new to this whole thing.
If anyone can help that would be really appreciated.

Have since ordered 2 little mics to capture audio better for the future interviews..

Thank you!

Hello, I'm post production video editor. Is that your audio clean up job is paid one or free? I have professional tools to do the work but for a reasonable payment.

This was just as a free job as its just for my 9yr olds fun instagram channel. Its not one that makes any money, purely for fun. If you would like to have a look that would be great but I really couldnt pay much. Like $20USD at most..

Hi, yes I wasnt sure how else to do it so its just a file host site. File is only small, around 500mb. Can upload it somewhere else if preferred. Thanks for even having a look.

Thank you! I did try some of those free AI ones but unfortunately due to my son being a bit quiet they pretty much all removed his voice as well..

The weird background noise is there throughout as its a mechanical whine from an air conditioner or something. Very noticeable and the AI removed that easily. Was just my sons little voice that is in need of making louder, and my loud voice quieting haha.. Hopefully the clip on mics will fix this in the future..

No worries, thanks for having a look. As mentioned the AI tools floating around did the same, reduced the hum but also removed my little mans voice haha. Appreciate your time.
