Silencio?

This caught my attention while waiting the other day:


That's a pretty big speaker, physically heavy and acoustically powerful, one of several lined up in a relatively small space. These stand boldly near the entrance, creating expectation of high energy and high volume.

It's not the speakers alone which captured me, but rather the pairing of them with the sign beneath commanding "SILENCIO."

Metaphors abound.
