hey!! i'm an audacity user for both mixing and recording and if there's a heckton of background noise in your recordings it's probably more related to your microphone than audacity. (here's an example of my mixing in audacity for an example)

how your recordings turn out largely, if not solely, depend on your mic. you could try turning the gain on your microphone down all the way (if you have that? the only mic i've ever had was a blue yeti so i'm not sure if other mics have that too lol//)

tricks that i use in audacity to make my recordings sound more clear (and this clears up the background noise a bit too without using the vocal-editing effects of noise removal/reducer) are i use high pass filter on my vocals and then use compressor to even them out and bring the volume back! hope this helps!
