lack of feedback

Communication void exists

Lack of feedback describes the absence of responses, reactions, or information about how something is being received or performing.

In workplaces, lack of feedback leaves employees uncertain about their progress: The lack of feedback from management made it hard to know if I was doing well.

In communication systems, it means no signal returns to indicate success or failure.

The phrase implies something missing that would normally be expected or beneficial.
