By remove, I assume you mean cut out everything for the duration of the
zzzzz and close up the gap. This is not what I had in mind.

It may be possible to remove the zzzzz and retain the music. Or if
not remove, certainly reduce its prominence. There are several
noise reduction facilities in Audacity (and other audio software)
which are designed for this sort of task.

So if you do get the time and inclination to have a go. Don't assume
you will be just cutting stuff out like the old tape days.

All the best
