Normally laserdisc soundtracks are cream of the crop. However, a few of them (usually Hong Kong releases) have some hum or buzzing that is noticeable during quieter moments. 

One such title is Jackie Chan's POLICE STORY. I have the Extended laserdisc and no doubt the audio beats the terrible DVD remixes all to hell. The only issue is there is a damn hum throughout and I am failing at removing it (without hurting the audio overall). 

Here is a short clip. I have Soundbooth (CS5) and Audacity on my PC and would appreciate any help in finding a way to diminish the humming. It's not noticeable when there is music or lots of action going on. But during dialog it's quite pronounced. 

Thanks in advance. Audio cleanup is not my thang. :)
