* Many parents of young children consider "too quiet" an urgent signal to find out what the kids are up to.
** In his stand up special ''Lock 'n Load'', Denis Leary mentioned how much he missed quiet in his house with 7 and 5 year old kids, and one day when he was reading the paper enjoying a rare dose of quiet, it suddenly hit him that he hadn't seen the kids in a while.

Observers of the exercise ([[Curb Stomp Battle|220-to-0 kill ratio]] in the F-22s' favor, in case you were wondering) noted that the conventional "Red Force" had its usual share of radio chatter, but the F-22s had...silence. All the information was datalinked, and the only radio messages were for kills. More than one Air Force officer said that it was rather eerie.
