noiseordinance

Hi there. So this may be a question with no solution so long as I'm recording in my bedroom. I'm recording vocals and pick up a decent amount of background noise (surprise surprise). My computer is in the same room, and I imagine the fans are a decent portion of the noise. When I delete the light hiss between vocal parts, it becomes fairly audible when the silence ends and there is an abrupt hiss of background noise right before the next vocal part. I have attempted to capture a noise reduction profile and run the noise reduction on my vocal samples but that sounds like crap.
Obviously, the answer would be to isolate vocal recording as much as possible, but in an apartment, there's only so much you can do. Just curious if there's any tricks that people use to minimize hiss between vocal parts without making it obvious. I'm thinking for now, the best I can do is run vocals through compression > parametric EQ (something to rid the high-highs and low-lows) > delay and between vocal parts, phase in and out of volume levels so that it's not as apparent?
