low noise

Soft ambient sound

Low noise describes something that produces minimal unwanted sound or signal interference.

In electronics and audio, low-noise equipment minimizes the hiss, hum, or static that degrades signal quality: a low-noise amplifier, low-noise recording.

The term applies broadly to anything engineered for quiet operation: low-noise fans, low-noise tires.
