About Remove Silence
Remove Silence cuts dead air from podcasts, lectures, interviews and voice memos automatically. Set the volume threshold that counts as silence and the minimum pause length, and long gaps are removed while short natural pauses stay. The result is tighter audio that takes less time to listen to.
Frequently asked questions
Remove silence from audio online. Detect and cut long pauses in podcasts, lectures and voice recordings with adjustable threshold – free and private.
How is silence detected?
Sections below the chosen loudness threshold for longer than the minimum duration are removed.
Will it cut short natural pauses?
Not if you set a longer minimum duration, such as 0.7–1 second.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. Processing runs in your browser.
What threshold should I start with?
Around −40 dB works for most clean recordings. Use a higher value such as −30 dB if background noise keeps the silences from being detected.
Does removing silence change the voice?
No. Only the quiet parts are cut out; the speech itself is not altered.
