It in fact has a delay on closing so it doesn't "chatter".

Set the threshold higher or lower so it sounds OK in your particular
noise/microphone/voice environment.  And be prepared to change it if you
microphone/voice/noise environment changes.

Listen to yourself using the MON feature so you can find the best
adjustment for your particular conditions.

In that case a short delay on the attack might supress the aforementioned "crackle" (I noticed that too) or a soft-knee characteristic.

Hi Terry,

I've only noticed this if the gate is set "too close" to the background
noise. Imho, with a noise gate you want to set it as "high" as possible
without causing pronounced clipping or shortening of spoken syllables.
What you are likely to be hearing are spikes in the background noise,
which cause the noise gate to open for a short fraction of a second.

With differing noise environments or microphone and/or speaker changes,
it will be necessary to readjust the microphone gain and/or noise gate
settings.
