Silence detection

[georgetk]

Is it possible to detect silence? Specifically in:

AudioRecord.on('data', data => {
  // base64-encoded audio data chunks
  // Check whether this data instance is silent or not
});

If anybody knows some method to detect silence (that works in React Native) in base64 data kindly share!

You can check the signal and set a threshold to say if there is silence.

@jecs89, thanks for the input! But I'm not sure how to do that on base64 data. Would be really helpful if you could share something.
