There is no such thing. As I was trying to explain (and I think if I

interpret correctly, Fons's point was also on the same lines) it would

make more sense to speak of *noise reduction strategies*. Think of it like

restoration of an old (ancient) 'something': is it a 1600s painting

where you

would like to have colours as similar as possible as the painter made

it? Is it

a sculpture which lost an arm which you want to reconstruct? Is it

simply an old

dampened document you need to read the rare historical content from,

where the

aesthetics of the paper and ink aren't so much relevant?
Once you have these aspects clear you can try experimenting with different

strategies.

Only then, after much experimentation, you can come back to the list and

say: "my research outcomes seem to prove that noise-gate plugins on

linux perform worst than noise gate plugins on XXX", and start a real,

entertaining flame about it :)
