Any ffmpeg recipe to clip off those TikTok/Instagram logo/noise from the end of videos? (beehaw.org)

You have seen them, video clips grabbed off Instagram or TikTok have this EXTREMELY annoying logo and sound at the end (specially Instagram lately, doubly so with headphones). I'd like to just throw a script/command/Bash alias at any of these and have a resulting video without them, and ffmpeg IS the Swiss army knife of video processing, but it's syntax is NOT what you'd call simple. Does anyone have a recipe for this already?

Since the primary complaint is unbalanced audio levels, perhaps the better question would be how to construct a command to normalize the audio of the clip rather than removing the attribution to the creators.

Since you mentioned it days ago I've been thinking it, would i be OK with those if the sound was normalized? Been actually checking it, normalizing audio on clips and seeing if i am now OK with those. And the answer continues to be a no. Why? Because IT'S AN AD. It's an ad for the enshittified, cancerous social media platform it came from. Put creator watermarks in the video itself like so many already do, then chop off those COMPLETELY unnecessary ads for tikitocs or Zuckergram, and we'll be better off and missing nothing.
