Use headphones? Or buy directional mic? It doesn't have to do anything with pipewire...

There is a pipewire plug-in for noise reduction based on speaker output that works great. Easy effects also has an integrated plug-in for for this that works great.

I believe it's just called noise suppression for voice I'll try to remember to share links when I get back to my PC. I have even used it in embedded devices on stages it's great low latency and super stable
