all quiet
Nothing making sound
All quiet describes a situation where nothing is happening—no activity, no disturbances, no communication.
Often used in reports or updates: All quiet on the western front, Everything's all quiet here.
The phrase suggests a calm that may be temporary or deceptive, a lull before potential action.
