If you want live noise-gating you will need expensive equipment -- but for post-processing, Audacity has built-in noise gating. It works pretty well provided that you can get a sample of the background static that you want to remove. A half-second silence (or crowd noise) is enough. zowie 19:04, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
