This technique works well for vinyl record pops and clicks because it catches oscillations (not just single spikes). (The threshold sets the required limit between the amplitudes inside and outside the loud section). Short pieces of sound that are much louder than the region before or after might be spikes. The first part, click detection, works by measuring the amplitude of the sound in each small piece of the selected sound, and comparing it to the average amplitude in surrounding pieces. The Click Removal algorithm consists of two parts: However, it's common sense not to rely exclusively on digital sound processing to clean up noisy records.

Click Removal then interpolates the samples either side of the click to reconstruct the waveform. The tool looks for short, abrupt discontinuities (known as 'spikes') in the waveform, typical of those produced by a click on a record. It is especially suited to removing random clicks from a recording of a vinyl record without damaging the rest of the audio. Click Removal tries to remove clicks from audio tracks.
