2Choose a click detection threshold from conservative to very aggressive.
3Set the burst threshold to target short, medium, or long bursts, or disable burst detection.
4Select Adaptive detection, which is recommended, or the Overlap-Save method, then download the processed audio file.

Use cases

Examples

1. Clean a digitized vinyl track

Vinyl archivist

Background

A vinyl archivist has converted a record to a WAV file, but the transfer contains frequent surface clicks.

Problem

The clicks interrupt playback and make the archival copy difficult to review.

How to use

Upload the WAV file, choose the Adaptive method, and start with the Medium click detection threshold.

clickThreshold: medium; burstThreshold: medium; method: adaptive

Outcome

The tool returns a processed audio file with detected clicks and pops reduced.

2. Repair an isolated digital pop

Podcast editor

Background

A podcast recording contains a short digital pop caused by a recording error.

Problem

The brief impulse is noticeable during speech and needs targeted cleanup.

How to use

Upload the MP3 or M4A recording, select Adaptive detection, and use a Short burst threshold.

FAQ

What is the click detection threshold?

It controls how aggressively the tool identifies possible clicks, from Low (Conservative) to Very Aggressive.

Which click threshold should I choose?

Medium is a balanced starting point. Use Low for conservative cleanup or a higher setting for more aggressive detection.

What does the burst threshold control?

It sets the burst length used for detection: Short, Medium, Long, or Disabled.

Which detection method is recommended?

Adaptive detection is the recommended method. Overlap-Save is also available as an alternative.

clickThreshold: medium; burstThreshold: short; method: adaptive

3. Apply aggressive restoration to noisy audio

Audio restoration editor

Background

An older recording has numerous prominent clicks and pops that remain after conservative cleanup.

Problem

A stronger detection setting is needed to identify more of the impulsive noise.

How to use

Upload the supported audio file, choose Very Aggressive click detection, select Long burst detection, and use Adaptive detection.

clickThreshold: aggressive; burstThreshold: long; method: adaptive

Outcome

The tool returns a more aggressively declicked audio file for review.
