How do I get the VOX to come when the only when the noise level is high and disregard background noise like a tv at low volume?

Audacity 1.3.9
Transport > Sound Activation Level
Adjust the level high enough (low number) so that the background sound does not trigger recording when you press the record button, but not so high as to prevent recording VOX.
