Silence Remover

Remove silence from audio automatically

1. Drop your file — the waveform appears with silences already highlighted using the default settings.
2. Tune the detection — threshold (how quiet counts as silence), minimum duration (how long a gap must be) and padding (how much natural gap to keep at each cut). The highlights update live.
3. Remove — one click deletes every detected gap; the A/B switch compares the tightened cut with the original.
4. Export — WAV or MP3, with a readout of exactly how much time you saved.

Built for podcast editing

Manually hunting pauses in an hour-long episode is the most tedious job in podcasting. This tool measures loudness in 20 ms windows across the whole file, finds every stretch that sits under your threshold longer than the minimum duration, and shows each one on the waveform before you commit. The Keep gap control is what makes the result sound human: instead of slamming words together, each cut keeps a short breath of room tone (150 ms by default), preserving natural pacing while still tightening minutes out of a long recording.

Suggested settings

• Podcast / interview — −40 dB, 0.5 s, 150 ms padding.
• Tight YouTube edit — −38 dB, 0.3 s, 80 ms padding.
• Lecture cleanup — −45 dB, 1.0 s, 250 ms padding (gentler, keeps thinking pauses).

Noisy room tone making detection miss? Run the Noise Reducer first — a cleaner noise floor makes silences easier to find.
