Is silenced audio recover-able?

[bonesonstones]

Hi people,
I would like to use the “Silence-Audio” (Crtl +L) feature to anonymize a qualitative interview, i.e.: replace any names, places, identifiable features during a spoken interview with silence. Hypothetically, after I’ve exported the anonymized interview (into .wav most likely), is there a way for a transcription service person to recover the silenced portions of the audio? Or would you care to explain (in stupid please) what it is I am doing with that portion of the audio when using the silence audio feature?

Thanks so much and have a fabulous day!

No, the silenced section is just silence.

No, the silenced section is just silence.

So I didn’t just suppress any art of the audio, I genuinely replaced it with - nothing? Thank you so much for the quick reply, you really helped me out!
