Many moons ago I used this instruction to setup Noise Gate Filter in OBS:
...To get best of the Noise Gate filter, set Close Threshold to minimum and set Open Threshold to maximum, then adjust Open Threshold until level meter in Audio Mixer pane begins to react (to environmental noise, if you adjusting mic), and then make adjustments to the Close Threshold again (about 8 dB lower). For example, Close Threshold = -96 bB, Open Threshold = 0 dB, you'll find out that at Open Threshold = -30 dB level meter begins to react, then set Close Threshold = -38 dB. Threshold values are negative, thus -38 dB lower than -30 dB. Close Threshold level value should be lower than Open Threshold. For mic – make all adjustments in silent...

it still should work fine. Mouse clicks during adjustments can slightly alternate the final results, so you may want to increase Open Threshold for a few dB to get best from the filter.

OBS team recommends this (the "noise volume" there - is value in dB shown by Audio Mixer pane volume meters of the input device when you remains silent; but what means "voice input" level there - I don't know, sorry):
