#### is\_silence

```python theme={null}
def is_silence(pcm_bytes, threshold=500, min_silence_ratio=0.95)
```

Detects if the given PCM16 byte buffer is mostly silence.

**Arguments**:

| Name                | Type    | Description                                                        |
| ------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `pcm_bytes`         | *bytes* | PCM16LE audio data.                                                |
| `threshold`         | *int*   | Max absolute value to consider as silence.                         |
| `min_silence_ratio` | *float* | Minimum ratio of silent samples to consider the buffer as silence. |

**Returns**:

| Name   | Description                                        |
| ------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `bool` | True if buffer is mostly silence, False otherwise. |

#### pcm16\_to\_wav\_bytes

```python theme={null}
def pcm16_to_wav_bytes(pcm_bytes: bytes,
                       num_channels: int = 1,
                       sample_rate: int = 24000) -> bytes
```

Convert PCM-16 audio data to WAV format bytes.

**Arguments**:
