Strip dead air and long gaps from a recording automatically. Adjustable threshold and gap length, with every detected region shown before you cut.
The silence remover finds the quiet stretches in a recording and strips them out. Two settings control everything: a threshold, which decides how quiet counts as silence, and a minimum gap length, which stops it from chopping the natural micro-pauses between words. It opens at −45 dB and 500 ms, a sensible starting point for clean speech, and shows you the detected regions on the waveform before you commit to anything.
It's built for podcasts, narration, interviews, and voice memos — anywhere dead air between takes is killing the pace. Because the threshold scale is negative, raising it is the aggressive direction: more audio falls below the line and the quiet tails of words start disappearing. It also keeps a 40 ms pad at each cut so joins land in room tone rather than hard against the waveform. How to remove silence from audio has the full settings guide.
The tool measures the track's level in short frames and marks a section as silence when it stays below your chosen threshold (in dB) for at least the minimum gap length you set. Both are adjustable with live sliders, and the waveform highlights every detected gap so you can see exactly what will be cut before you commit — raise the threshold to catch quieter pauses, or increase the minimum length to keep short breaths and natural pauses intact.
Very. Removing dead air, long pauses, and gaps between takes is one of the most common editing chores for podcasters, narrators, and anyone cleaning up voice memos. Because you can preview the highlighted cuts and adjust the threshold and gap length before exporting, you can tighten up a recording without accidentally clipping the start of words or removing natural breathing room.
The tool keeps a small cushion of audio at the edge of each cut so segments don't slam together, which avoids the clicks and jarring jumps you'd get from a hard splice. You can preview the result in full before exporting to make sure the pacing feels natural, and adjust the settings if any cut is too aggressive.
Yes. The waveform shows every silent gap highlighted, and the tool reports how many gaps were found and roughly how much total time will be removed at your current settings. You can also play back the trimmed result in full before downloading, so there are no surprises.
No. Detection, preview, and the final trim all happen locally in your browser. Your recording never leaves your device — which matters for unreleased episodes, interviews, and private voice notes.
