dying away
Slowly becoming silent
Dying away describes sound, light, or sensation gradually fading until it disappears: The applause died away, Her voice died away to a whisper.
The phrase suggests a natural diminishing rather than an abrupt end—something losing strength by degrees until nothing remains.
