Voice activity detector.

Attempt to trim silence and quiet background sounds from the ends of recordings of speech.

Similar to SoX implementation.

Parameters

  • sample_rate (int) – Sampling rate of audio signal.

  • trigger_level (float, optional) – The measurement level used to trigger activity detection. Default: 7.0.

  • trigger_time (float, optional) – The time constant (in seconds) used to help ignore short bursts of sounds. Default: 0.25.

  • search_time (float, optional) – The amount of audio (in seconds) to search for quieter/shorter bursts of audio to include prior to the detected trigger point. Default: 1.0.

  • allowed_gap (float, optional) – The allowed gap (in seconds) between quieter/shorter bursts of audio to include prior to the detected trigger point. Default: 0.25.

  • pre_trigger_time (float, optional) – The amount of audio (in seconds) to preserve before the trigger point and any found quieter/shorter bursts. Default: 0.0.

  • boot_time (float, optional) – The time for the initial noise estimate. Default: 0.35.

  • noise_up_time (float, optional) – Time constant used by the adaptive noise estimator for when the noise level is increasing. Default: 0.1.

  • noise_down_time (float, optional) – Time constant used by the adaptive noise estimator for when the noise level is decreasing. Default: 0.01.

  • noise_reduction_amount (float, optional) – Amount of noise reduction to use in the detection algorithm. Default: 1.35.

  • measure_freq (float, optional) – Frequency of the algorithm’s processing/measurements. Default: 20.0.

  • measure_duration (float, optional) – The duration of measurement. Default: None, will use twice the measurement period.

  • measure_smooth_time (float, optional) – Time constant used to smooth spectral measurements. Default: 0.4.

  • hp_filter_freq (float, optional) – The ‘Brick-wall’ frequency of high-pass filter applied at the input to the detector algorithm. Default: 50.0.

  • lp_filter_freq (float, optional) – The ‘Brick-wall’ frequency of low-pass filter applied at the input to the detector algorithm. Default: 6000.0.

  • hp_lifter_freq (float, optional) – The ‘Brick-wall’ frequency of high-pass lifter used in the detector algorithm. Default: 150.0.

  • lp_lifter_freq (float, optional) – The ‘Brick-wall’ frequency of low-pass lifter used in the detector algorithm. Default: 2000.0.
