Great clamour was for one moment heard by them, and then a rushing voicelessness.
"Vittoria, v4"
George Meredith

"Memoir and Letters of Francis W. Newman"
Giberne Sieveking
The hearers sat in a strained silence; a voicelessness of bated breath-as if awed into a trance.
"When 'Bear Cat' Went Dry"
Charles Neville Buck
