library voices
Quiet indoor speaking
Library voices are the hushed tones people use in quiet spaces like libraries, where normal speaking volume would disturb others.
The phrase appears most often as a parental instruction to children: Use your library voices, please.
It suggests controlled, indoor-appropriate speech rather than complete silence.
