Hello. You forgot to add the necessary text to answer this question. The text is:
“There are hundreds of children here…only they’re on the other side of the fence.’ A silence followed this remark, but it wasn’t like a normal silence where it just happens that no one is talking. It was a silence that was very noisy.”
Answer:
Bruno refers to the silence as "noisy" because the silence was able to convey a message.
I did not go through any situation where the silence was awkward and heavy.
Explanation:
When Bruno states that the silence was noisy, he means that although nothing was being said, the silence passed a message and that was not a common message, it was a very clear message, easily understandable and a tense, frightening and negative message.
Situations in which the silence becomes noisy, are uncomfortable, stressful and fearful situations that cause people's anxiety and fear.
