A way to disable laugh tracks?

Hi there, do you know if there is a way to disable laugh tracks from sitcoms? I really would like to rewatch some shows like King of Queens but I can't bear the constant laughing in the background. Cheers

Original video assets from a studio has multiple audio tracks, but they are transcoded down to a single audio track before distribution to the end user. Sorry.

You could do some fancy editing, or maybe you can use machine learning somehow.

But removing the laugh track really messes with the comedic timing.

Depends on the show and how it's used, in my opinion it feels more disruptive than the interruptions left behind by its absence.
