Settings
The silence level decides what counts as silence. Noisy rooms need "Loose" (−35 dB), otherwise the hum is treated as sound. "Shortest pause to remove" stops natural pauses between sentences from being cut.
Good to know
Silence is detected by level. For "start and end" the audio is scanned from both directions, so only leading and trailing silence is removed and everything in between is untouched.
