In Visible Silence is the second studio album by the English avant-garde synth-pop group Art of Noise in April 1986, and the first created by members Anne Dudley, J. J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan in the wake of their departure from ZTT Records that had been the home of the group's genesis.

The first single, "Legs", was released in late 1985, followed by two major hits on the UK Singles Chart in 1986: "Peter Gunn", that featured guitar legend Duane Eddy; and "Paranoimia" with television personality Max Headroom, where actor Matt Frewer performed two different monologues as Headroom for each of the 7" and 12" versions.

"Legacy", a re-worked version of "Legs" released as a single in late 1986, was taken from a special limited edition bonus album, Re-works of Art of Noise. A live version of the album was recorded in Hammersmith, London and released on VHS and 12-inch CD Video in 1987.
