NoiseGate Node

The NoiseGate node suppresses audio signals below a certain threshold, reducing background noise and unwanted low-level sounds.

Configuration​

This object does not provide any configuration options.

Properties​

Inherits properties from its parent, SingleBusAudioProcessorNode.

openThresholdDB​

Type: Float | Default: -40.0 | Range: -96.0 – 24.0

The signal level in dB above which the gate opens.

closeThresholdDB​

Type: Float | Default: -49.0 | Range: -96.0 – 24.0

The signal level in dB below which the gate closes. Must be lower than openThresholdDB to provide hysteresis and prevent chatter at the threshold boundary.

attackTimeSeconds​

Type: Float | Default: 0.005 | Range: 0.0 – 0.5

The duration in seconds for the gate to ramp from fully closed to fully open after the signal exceeds openThresholdDB.

holdTimeSeconds​

Type: Float | Default: 0.2 | Range: 0.0 – 1.0

The duration in seconds the gate stays open after the signal drops below closeThresholdDB, before the release ramp begins.

releaseTimeSeconds​

Type: Float | Default: 0.15 | Range: 0.0 – 1.0

The duration in seconds for the gate to ramp from fully open to fully closed after the hold time has elapsed.

enabled​

Type: Boolean | Default: true

When false, the gate is bypassed and audio passes through unmodified.

isOpen (read-only)​

Type: Boolean

true while the gate is opening or fully open, false while it is closing or closed.
