not much you can do if it's recorded way to low, as you increase volume all noise is also increased. if you have sony sound forge to go along with vegas there are some noise filters and gates you can use. if not maybe try the free audio editor audacity.

Many audio noise reduction filters will let you specify a sample of the noise you want to reduce. Find an otherwise quiet portion of the audio, take the sample, then apply the noise reduction filter to the rest of the audio. Audacity's noise reduction filter works this way. This can work pretty well with narrow band noise (like a test tone) but not so well with wide band noise (like tape hiss). But even with wide band noise you can get 10 or 15 dB of reduction without too badly damaging the remaining audio.

You might have to go to a real audio editor like ProTools or Ableton that lets you set a soft gate or three, whilst boosting the good frequencies with a multiband compressor.

The cheap, easy, free, tools don't have the deep reach you need. You have to get in there at the atomic level where the particles are spinning wildly.

You'll have to requantize to a very fine hairs bitsize.

Mwuahahaha. Not for the faint of heart.
