I would like to generate files of silence of specific durations, all at

sourceforge.net/sox.html I believe the following command should do that,
but instead it produces a tone:

sox --null --rate 16k --bits 16 --channels 1
"C:/Users/me/Desktop/silent19secs.wav"
synth trim 0.0 19.907625

Please tell me how to adjust this command.

The whole purpose of the 'synth' effect is to generate tones.  Although
you didn't specify any parameters for that effect, it has defaults, so
will have done something.

I don't know why you put 'synth' there.  The --null    (sort of dummy
input file) is described as infinite silence, so I would have thought
that

sox --null --rate 16k --bits 16 --channels 1
  "C:/Users/me/Desktop/silent19secs.wav" trim 0 19

might work.
