rendering too noisy

Lately the renderings seem noisy to me even if the progressive rendering settings are optimized. I want to make an interior rendering full of lights and burning candles. But it's all too loud. Suggestions in settings? Thank you

    A shot in the dark: try lowering gamma correction value

     But if I lower the gamma it doesn't become too flat?

    With "too loud" I assume you mean too bright?  I often lower gamma correction instead of brightness when an image is too bright, it often gives a better result IMO.  I'd suggest trying it and see how it works.

    Low lighting will increase render time (or increase noise).  Generally you want to have brighter lighting to reduce noise.  By brighter lights, that doesn't necessarily mean more lights, as the more lights you add to a scene, the more time that needs to be taken to calculate light bounces from those lights...

    Try some of these options:

    1.  Try to use spotlights or point lights instead of geometry based lighting (primitives with emission lights) where possible.

    2.  Try turning on post-demoising, under render settings/filtering.  

    3.  Purchase some sets that specifically help with low lighting situations.  KindrendArts has some good ones:

    Iray Interior Speed Lights

    Iray Night Light Kit

    4.  Increase your environment light intensity if you are using HDRIs (Render Settings/Environment).  If not, change it to scene lighting only. 

    5.  Try setting up your scene with brighter lighting than you want (so it will render faster), but in the tone mapping section of the render setttings increase the exposure value (which will make the image darker in the long run).  

    Unfortunately, low lighting scenes are naturally going to take longer to render as Iray will need more light bounces to resolve the noise.  Hope some of that advice helps.

     this is the render I did but it is very noisy at high quality settings.

     It says: Can't find file data in your post... I don't know what you mean...

    I have never seen that message.

    You need to have the image stored on your computer - you can't paste it.

    After clicking Attach file there should open a window where you can browse to the image.
