opposite of loud noise

Hi,
What is the opposite of loud/big noise?Is it " "small noise " or " low noise" ?

Can I say " He was startled by even a small/low noise" ?

I suggest
a small noise / a small sound / a quiet sound

Silence!

Can I say " He was startled by even a small/low noise" ? - The tone of this sentence is odd.

You may say:
"He may be easily startled, even by the slightest sound"

Thank you Clive and Goodman very much.

Can I say : " Even a small noise/sound could / might startle him" ?

Hi,
Yes.
Clive

Thank you Clive

How about something like, "The deafening silience terrified him".

Hello I'm don't consider myself and expert but I'll give you my opinion......What we would more typically say is, "He was startled by the least bit of noise." or "He was startled by even a little noise.".

I noticed no one had answered.......so I hope this helps a little.
