    Download Audacity. You can isolate the relevant section of audio and try the remove noise filter or else alter the eq. Sometimes lessening the lower the frequencies and bringing out the higher ones can help

    Ok I have the section of track isolated. It is only a few seconds. What do i do to make the man's voice sound more crisp and clear? How much remove noise filter and what do i do with eq. Thanks for your help

    To use the noise filter you need to select a few seconds of the sound you want removed (static or crackle or whatever). Then when you use the Noise Removal you can preview the result and adjust strengths of the effect.
    Regarding eq just select the Equaliser effect and decrease the lower frequencies and increase mids / highs. Again you can preview results.
    If you aren't getting anywhere you can export the relevant section as a wav file and upload it here and I could have a crack off it. No guarantees of success of course.
