Assuming you are talking about motor noise from the camera in a very quiet situation you could try an external audio editor.

I found a free one called Audacity (works on .wav files) which offered a noise removal capability - you bracket an area of the sound that you don't like, and it can go along the whole sound clip and reduce/remove that sound.

I used this on a quiet sunrise - birds & crickets in the distance (plus motor noise), and was surprised at how well it worked.

I think VS8 has .wav extraction utility, Share / "Create Sound File".

Also, I suppose MSP7 may have that capability built in, with its audio editor.

Right click on the audio, split audio, delete the audio file.

I just bought VS9 and was unhappy with its ability to remove camera noise. I found Audacity at audacity.sourceforge.net and it is very good for editing the extracted sound track. It has a group of features that I haven't tried yet. A good "add-on" for VS9" Thanks to MurrayH for the tip.
