- From the region context menu, choose Edit > Strip - Silence to detect silence (based on a user-chosen threshold in - dBFS), split a - region based on the boundaries of the silent segments, and remove the - silence.

The dialog looks like this: + The Strip Silence tool allows to remove the parts of one or multiple + regions that are below a user-defined silence threshold.
