Here is a guide to doing this in Audacity: Make your recording. Select a chunk of the recording where you were not speaking. You should see a slight bumpiness on the line, representing the background noise. Select Effect, then Noise Reduction, then Step 1 and then Get Noise Profile. Select the entire recording (shortcut key: Ctrl + A).
Dynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range.
Mix multiple sound sources/tracks, combine them at various volume levels and pan from channel to channel to one or more output tracks; Apply simple or advanced effects or filters, including amplification, normalization, limiting, panning, compression, expansion, flanging, reverb, audio noise reduction, and equalization to change the audio.

Another type of normalization is based on a measure of loudness, wherein the gain is changed to bring the average loudness to a target level. This average may be approximate, such as a simple measurement of average power (e.g. RMS), or more accurate, such as a measure that addresses human perception e.g. that defined by EBU R128 and offered by ReplayGain, Sound Check and GoldWave.

This is displayed in Audacity, a basic DAW. The loudness war (or loudness race) is a trend of increasing audio levels in recorded music, which reduces audio fidelity and—according to many critics—listener enjoyment. Increasing loudness was first reported as early as the 1940s, with respect to mastering practices for 7-inch singles. [1]
