Silence is a planet in the F-Zero series, first appearing in the original F-Zero. It is aptly named, due to the fact that nothing on the planet creates any noise. Absolutely no life can be found on this planet. According to the game F-Zero: GP Legend, no living creature calls this place home.

Appearance in the games
