Cedar is what professional audio engineers use to remove unwanted
noises, such as creaking, coughing, sneezing, cell phones, candy, fans,
fridges etc.
You can make a good living removing squeaks from guitar recordings (I
prefer leaving them in, but the customers usually don't)

The sequoia system has something similar, I once removed an entire
sneeze from the only good take in a recording project. Amazing.
Had the system been around during Gould's time, it could have made a
big difference, although, just getting the performer to sing in
different places each time is usually the way to go. They can't stop
singing, but they can almost always sing in different places.
Usually it takes a regular amount of time for the singing to stat--the
trick is to stagger the takes by two bars so the singing starts two
bars later on each take. Assuming the session tapes are around, a lot
could be done with even a tape recording. I suspect they left it in on
purpose, however. Since it could be removed, why not remove it? The
mystique.
The high rollers bring the NR to the session and use instant playback
to see if the noises are "removeable", then go on to the next take.
Very useful for big expensive things, of course, where retakes are not
an option.
