A minute of pure silence
One full minute of digital silence: no noise, no room tone, just a perfectly blank stereo file you can drop anywhere in your timeline. Idealized studio silence, ready for all your tests and tricks.
To create a custom silent audio file, go to my Silence Generator.
Typical uses (based on users’ feedback):
> insert clean gaps between songs, jingles or podcast segments
> mute apps or devices that insist on playing a sound file (alarms, notification systems, in-car players, etc.)
> keep players, audio engines or Bluetooth links alive without any audible sound
> work around tools and platforms that require an audio track (force video export instead of GIF, pad the end of a file, calibrate meters, etc.)
It can also serve as a symbolic “minute of silence” in streams, events, radios or artistic projects. Free and royalty-free (CC0) for all your uses. UCS Category: TEST. Length: 01:00.
