Note !

It's a good idea to support the creators of this shareware/freeware stuff.

I've also planed to compile together a more detailed description of some selected programs, and pack them together in a single archive file. Naming the whole thing Cocoon Culture Lab's "Silence Tools". Until then ... DIY.
