Improving audio quality of a poor quality source ? What software ?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I have a home-made VCD, which has a poor quality (and low volume) audio track.

I know what to use to extract the audio and convert it to multiple formats. But what would I need to improve the audio quality ?

If I amplify the audio using one of these tools, will it also amplify the noise ?

What’s the best software to use ? Preferably downloadable freeware/shareware. Sonic Foundry’s Sound Forge 7.0 is not available for download.

Thanks.

Try goldwave:

I believe they offer a 30 day trial or something like that.

It’s excellent for audio editing, I use it to clear up tv show audio tracks before burning them to DVD.

The MFJ-616 is a speech intelligibility enhancer which makes barely understandable speech highly understandable. Try it for 60 days, refund except for shipping costs.
