Why would I need 1 hour of silence?

Common uses: testing audio player memory usage over long playback, silent background 'audio' to keep Bluetooth headphones connected, sleep timer functionality testing, and placeholder audio in automated video rendering.

Should I use MP3 or WAV for 1 hour?

Definitely MP3. The WAV version is 303MB (impractical for most uses). The MP3 is only 7MB with identical silence quality.
