I've thought about buying some noise cancelling headphones so I can get more silence.

Excellent input, team!

I was thinking about silence because of an episode of the Comedy Bang Bang podcast where their 'intern' Gino Lombardi is supposed to quietly provide water for the guests then leave, but ends up co-hosting the episode. When reminded he should be quiet, Gino invokes 'podcast silence' but then continues to talk: http://comedybangbang.wikia.com/wiki/Podcast_Silence

There's a great expression they use in Indonesian when someone who is supposed to say something doesn't. Used particularly in reference to policicians, for example, when they are seeking to avoid stating a position on something they know is controversial and hence just go into hiding.
