making little or no noise

the car has a quiet, economical engine

I was as quiet as I could be, but he knew I was there

carried out discreetly, secretly, or with moderation

we wanted a quiet wedding

I'll have a quiet word with him

absence of noise or bustle; silence; calm

the ringing of the telephone shattered the early morning quiet

make or become silent, calm, or still

there are ways of quieting kids down

the journalists quieted down as Judy stepped on to the dais
