Noise Gate

The Noise Gate filter is used to eliminate noise below the selected level.

Use the Play buttons to listen to and compare the sound before and after applying the Noise Gate effect:

How to Apply

All effects and filters are applied in the same way in AVS Audio Editor. For detailed step-by-step instructions on how to apply effects to your audio files, click here.

Noise Gate Settings

To apply the effect, use one of the available presets or configure the effect parameters manually.

The following Noise Gate settings are available for editing:

• Threshold - the level (in dB) at which the gate opens. The noise gate filter will affect only the sound below the specified threshold.
• Attack Time - the amount of time it takes the noise gate to change from closed to open once the signal exceeds the specified threshold.
• Release Time - the period during which the noise gate remains open once the signal has fallen below the specified threshold.

Note: the attack and release times are used to smooth the noise gate boundaries. The slower the attack and release are, the smoother the transition between affected and non-affected signal will be.
