Remove Silence from ElevenLabs Audio
AI voice generators such as ElevenLabs can leave pauses at the start and end of clips and long breaks between sentences. If you build videos or audiobooks from them, those pauses add up.
Download your generated audio, upload it here and remove the silence with the AI voice preset. SilenceZap is an independent tool and is not affiliated with ElevenLabs.
Where it helps
- YouTube narration: Tighten each generated clip so scenes change at the right moment.
- Short-form video: Keep reels and shorts punchy by removing dead air from voiceovers.
- Audiobook drafts: Reduce the length of generated chapters without changing the voice.
Tips for the best result
Generated speech is clean, so use -50 dB and a 0.15 s minimum as a start. Increase the minimum silence if you want to keep the natural pause between sentences.
Process all of a video's clips together with the same settings so the pacing stays consistent.
Which settings should I use?
- Default: -45 dB threshold, 0.1 s minimum silence. A balanced first try for most clean audio.
- Podcast: -40 dB, 0.4 s. Removes long pauses and keeps short natural ones.
- Voice note: -42 dB, 0.25 s. Good for phone recordings and WhatsApp messages.
- AI voice / TTS: -50 dB, 0.15 s. Generated speech is very clean, so a low threshold is enough.
- Lecture: -38 dB, 0.5 s. Handles room noise and long thinking pauses in classes and talks.
