Goblin Customs Around silence
Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about silence: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.
silence resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and silence hums louder than most.

The Goblin Verdict on silence
The goblin investigative committee on silence has issued its final report. The cover is leather. The body is blank. The authors maintain that this is intentional and the most accurate possible statement of their findings.
