ur talkin about phase distortion which btw it is added whether u realize that or not....i was referring to the recording that i am sure it was mono originally then converted to stereo by u...u don't notice the teeny phase shifting issues after the process??

Well you'd apply it with Photosounder onto the original sound and it would just work.
Of course no one's going to come up with such an image because there are some things that have been lost definitely to the noise, but you have to understand that it's all an image processing problem. If you can fix the image, you've fixed the sound. And you can fix the image without losing any of the voice components. You can potentially keep all that belongs to the voice, lose all that's from the noise, and eventually get to fix some of what was damaged by the noise. It can be done, I'm not sure how, but the goal of the whole challenge is that someone finds out. And that applies not just to denoising but pretty much anything. Fix the image and the sound will follow  .
Also, I have to stress that it was just messing with an idea in Photoshop for like 5 minutes. Surely unless I'm incredibly lucky one can easily top that by putting more research into it!

Not tryin to be confrontational but IMO, me thinks you are trying to reconstruct the severely damaged sound recorded on a 19th century format and expect to make it sound like commercial broadcast quality...it's just not gonna happen 'cause the fundamentals for a clean voice in a quite room environment are simply not there and (been told by another engineer) that no spectrum analysis/imaging software will allow you to recreate the missing harmonics only cut or filter them out to preserve what sounds coherent with a certain degree of taste....That is to say whoever creates something more pleasing to the ears will win your contest....that's not improving the signal up and above what the technology or the tools can allow but a subjective judgment call....
