Tape Dropouts are momentary lapses in sound on aging magnetic tapes. If the dropout is limited to a second or two, it can usually be restored. Tape dropouts longer than 2 seconds may or may not be repairable. If the tape is damaged and producing a garbled type of sound, that may not be fully restorable.
