El silencio es la ausencia de sonido audible ambiental, la emisión de sonidos de una intensidad tan baja que no llaman la atención sobre sí mismos, o el estado de haber dejado de producir sonidos; este último sentido puede extenderse para aplicarse a la cesación o ausencia de cualquier forma de comunicación, ya sea a través del habla u otro medio. Permanecer mudo puede ser un síntoma de enfermedad mental.

“Silence has weight. It’s not just between sounds—it is a sound.”
“Sed taciti fecere tamen convicia vultus.”
“Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.”
