La habitación estaba silenciosa.

English Translation

The room was quiet.

Doesn’t silenciosa mean silent? Quiet means that there’s a sound, it’s just not loud. How about Spanish? Is silenciosa quiet or silent? Is callada or tranquila better here?

As far as I know, you normally only use callado, callarse about people; it’s about not saying anything.

OK, so callada is incorrect here, what about tranquila?
