Yeah... It looks something like a noise gate which is downward
expansion to offset make-up gain which boosts everything, including the background noise.

I view Reaper as superior to Audacity, which is why I am trying to transfer my knowledge (limited though it may be) from Audacity to here. So far in processing, that has been true, at least as far as I am able to discern.

Different plug-ins/effects are "different" and you can't always say one is better than another in every situation.
I consider Audacity to be an "audio editor", not a DAW, and there are lots of things it can't do but some people don't need a full DAW.
Audacity doesn't apply effects in real-time and that allows a 2-pass process. When you apply make-up gain that's a 2nd-pass normalization effect that adjusts for 0dB peaks after compression.
