Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The soundend event of the Web Speech API is fired when any sound — recognizable speech or not — has stopped being detected.
Syntax
Use the event name in addEventListener():
js
addEventListener("soundend", (event) => { })
Alternatively, assign to the event handler property of the interface:
js
onsoundend = (event) => { }
Event type
A generic Event with no added properties.
Examples
You can use the soundend event in an addEventListener method:
js
const recognition = new (
window.SpeechRecognition || window.webkitSpeechRecognition
)();
recognition.addEventListener("soundend", (event) => {
console.log("Sound has stopped being received");
});
Or use the onsoundend event handler property (but note that this replaces other event listeners added using onsoundend, if any):
js
recognition.onsoundend = (event) => {
console.log("Sound has stopped being received");
};
