A virtual audio cable is required for use with VOIPs:įor Windows users I recommend the VB-Cable driver ( ). When used with a virtual audio cable it can act as a noise gate for a either a sound input(microphone) or sound output(speakers).Ĭan also be used to gate noise from your own mic or play your microphone through your speakers. However, if the average level goes below the threshold, the gate closes and the audio is cut. In real-time the audio level is analysed and if the average level is higher than the threshold the audio bypasses as normal. NoiseGator is a light-weight noise gate application that routes audio through an audio input to an audio output. This project is just a crate so you'll need to add it to your own program if you want to use it.

For an in-depth explanation of how this crate works check out the accompanying blog post.
