Minimal

As of 2020, any silent room with silent computer and microphone will do. Computer's fan, room noise, building noise and street noise are your main enemies. But most microphone hardwares are enough to record human voices fairly.

Recording using smartphone has proven surprisingly good, higher-end smartphones having dedicated sound-cards cleaning audio input from unwanted background noises.
