Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When a fic starts with "With a flutter of silent noise" it's very considerate because you know there's no point reading much further.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sadly, this is inappropriate feedback to the author. But it's completely true.
Or the author needs to hit the mute button. Sometimes I think there should be noise, but it's silent and it's because of the mute button. ::nods::

Art Crawl!!!
That's right.
Damn, that silent noise - it gets you everytime with its stealthiness.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What's sad is that the author was probably so proud of how evocative that line was.
A beta who is not afraid to call one out on such things is a godsend.

I can't lie--at 15, I'd have been very impressed with myself at that line. But there's a reason there's no extant samples of my work from that period.

I keep them for the horror.
