## Details

`&noisegatesettings` is used in conjunction with [`&noisegate`](/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/noisegate.md). This feature lets you tweak the noise-gate's variables, making it more or less aggressive as needed.

It takes a comma separated list:

* First value is target volume (0 to 100), although 0 to 40 is probably the recommended range here.
  * Since how we perceive loudness isn't linear, to have the audio become inaudible, you'll want to set this to 0 to 3. Setting it to 10 for example will leave it still quite audible, but just dampened.
* Second value is the threshold value where the gate is triggered if below it. \~ 100 is loudly speaking, \~ 20 is light background noise levels, and under 5 is quiet background levels.
* Third value is how 'sticky' the gate-open position is, in milliseconds. Having this set to a few seconds should prevent someone from being cut off while speaking or if taking a short pause.
  * You may want to try a value of 10 to 300 for this third value, if just testing or want a sharper cut off.

To help users with testing the noise gate and configuring the noise gate settings, there's an interactive page here for it: <https://vdo.ninja/noisegate>

{% hint style="warning" %}
The interactive `/noisegate` test page uses a classic DAW-style parameter set (threshold in dBFS, attack ms, release ms, hold ms, depth %). The 5-value string it displays is **not** directly compatible with `&noisegatesettings`, which uses the 3-value internal format (TargetGain, Threshold, StickinessMs) described above. Use the test page to tune the live feel of the gate, then translate your preferred settings manually to the 3-value URL format.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/and-noisegatesettings.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
