quietest

Least loud possible

Quietest is the superlative form of quiet—the most quiet among a group or range.

It describes the lowest volume, least noise, or greatest stillness: the quietest room in the house, the quietest student in class.

It can also indicate the most subdued or restrained: Even in his quietest moments, he commanded attention.
