Adverb(1 words)
quietly

How these synonyms differ

  • hushed - 'Hushed' implies quietness imposed by the situation, a hushed library, hushed tones. Someone or something has dampened the sound.
  • muted - 'Muted' implies quietness that's been actively reduced, muted colors, a muted response. Something is holding back the full volume.
  • silent - 'Silent' is the absolute, complete absence of sound. 'Quiet' allows for soft noise; 'silent' does not.
  • still - 'Still' combines quiet with motionlessness, a still lake, a still night. It's peace in both sound and movement.
