unvoiced
Kept to oneself
Unvoiced means not expressed aloud: She kept her objections unvoiced.
The word suggests thoughts or feelings held back rather than spoken.
In phonetics, unvoiced describes consonants produced without vibrating the vocal cords—sounds like /p/, /t/, /k/, and /s/, as opposed to their voiced counterparts /b/, /d/, /g/, and /z/.
