bleeps

Censor's audio substitutions

Bleeps is the plural of bleep—a short, high-pitched electronic tone.

Bleeps commonly replace profanity in broadcast media: The interview was full of bleeps.

In technical contexts, bleeps are signals from equipment or devices.

The verb form means to censor with such tones or to emit them: They bleeped out half his sentence.
