Silence
Components: V, S
For the duration, no sound can be created within or pass through a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range. Any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder damage, and creatures are deafened while entirely inside it.
Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is impossible there.

What level spell is Silence in 5e?
Silence is a 2nd-level illusion spell, so casting it costs a 2nd-level slot or higher.
What classes can cast Silence?
Silence appears on the bard, cleric and ranger spell lists in the SRD.
Does Silence require concentration?
Yes. Silence requires concentration (up to 10 minutes), so it ends if you cast another concentration spell, or if you fail a Constitution save after taking damage.
Can Silence be cast as a ritual?
Yes. Silence has the ritual tag, so it can be cast without expending a spell slot by taking an extra 10 minutes — provided your class has the Ritual Casting feature.
