soundlessness

/ˈsaʊndləsnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being soundless.

Word Origin 'Sound' plus '-less' plus '-ness' — the state of being without sound. 'Sound' from Latin 'sonus' gives us a symphony of words: 'sonic', 'sonar', 'sonata', 'consonant' (sounding together), 'dissonance' (sounding apart), 'unison' (one sound), and 'resound' (sound back). The PIE *swen- also gives 'swan' (the singing bird). Soundlessness is the absence of all that.
