 [[Silence]] is particularly explored in the survival horror genre, probably because it allows contrast with other relevant sounds. Referring to Silent Hill, Akira Yamaoka, said that "the lack of sound impresses people more than beautiful music if it’s contrasted" [http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=27644].
-[[Silence]] may also be important in the [[Stealth]] genre. Some games explore the contrast between the loudness of the environment and that of the player's actions. In such cases, the surrounding sound servers as a sonic camuflage, and the quieter it is, the harder the challenge of remaining undetected.

 Also, it is important to specify, that the meaning of "silence" is more psychological (perceptual) than technical. That is to say, it is about the ''perception'' of silence, not necessarily the actual absence of sound.
