radio silences
Deliberate transmission gaps
Radio silences is the plural of radio silence—periods when someone deliberately stops communicating.
The term comes from military and broadcast contexts where transmissions cease for tactical or technical reasons.
In everyday use, it describes when someone goes quiet, especially in relationships or professional settings: After three radio silences this month, I stopped expecting replies.
