VoxPilot v0.4.3 — Noise Gate Filter
The latest VoxPilot release adds a noise gate filter that silences audio frames below a configurable RMS threshold before they reach voice activity detection.
If you've ever had a fan, AC unit, or electrical hum trigger false speech detection — this is for you.
How It Works
The noise gate sits between your microphone input and the VAD engine. Any audio frame with an RMS level below your configured threshold gets zeroed out — it never reaches the speech detector.
- Smooth attack/release timing prevents clipping speech onsets
- Live config updates — change the threshold without restarting
- Zero overhead when disabled (threshold = 0)
Configuration
New setting: voxpilot.noiseGateThreshold
- Range: 0–0.1 (default: 0 = disabled)
- Try 0.005–0.02 to filter persistent low-level noise
- Adjust based on your environment
