honestly in this case you should just select the area with noise and delete it. No need for automation here, you are just making things more complicated than it needs to be in that case. However to answer your question. select the part at the begins u want to mute. and enable mute. Then enable automation and set it to write and play the selection in its entirety. Then move the cursor to where the selection ended and unmute the track. then hit play and let a little of it play. When you hit stop you can set automation to read and then go to beginning of the project to check if it works as intended.
