silent movement
Creeping without noise
Silent movement is motion made without sound, whether deliberate or inherent.
A cat's silent movement through grass is natural; a burglar's silent movement through a house is intentional.
In music and film, a silent movement or silent moment creates dramatic contrast through the absence of sound.
