bleep out
Cover offensive audio
To bleep out is to replace offensive or sensitive words in a broadcast or recording with an electronic tone: They bleeped out every profanity in the interview.
The bleep preserves the rhythm of speech while signaling that something unprintable was said.
By extension, bleep out can mean to censor or suppress any unwanted content.
