Making little or no noise, or free from disturbance and loud activity.
A quiet room or street is one with little sound, allowing people to rest, concentrate or sleep without disturbance.

Beyond sound, quiet can describe a period of low activity, such as a quiet week at work or a quiet town with little happening. The opposite of quiet in most of these senses is loud, busy or noisy, depending on which meaning is meant.
