Frequently Asked Questions
A silence generator creates blank audio files. Common uses include adding padding between tracks in a playlist, testing audio equipment or software, creating spacers for podcast editing, and calibrating recording setups. DJs also use silence files to add pauses between mixes.
Match the settings of the audio you will combine the silence with. For most music, 44,100 Hz / 16-bit (CD quality) is standard. For video work, use 48,000 Hz. For hi-res audio projects, use 96,000 Hz / 24-bit or higher. Mismatched rates can cause playback glitches.
You can generate silence as WAV (uncompressed), AIFF (uncompressed, common on Mac), FLAC (lossless compression), MP3 (lossy, smallest size), OGG (open-source lossy), or AAC/M4A (lossy, Apple-friendly). WAV is recommended for most professional workflows.
You can generate up to 60 minutes (3,600 seconds) of silence. Very long files at high sample rates (e.g. 192 kHz) may use significant memory. If you experience issues, try a lower sample rate or shorter duration.
No. The silent audio file is generated entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API. Nothing is uploaded or sent to any server. The file is created locally and downloaded directly to your device.
