The compartment was quiet save for the ever-present engine noise.

The house became quiet save for the ticking of the living room's,grandfather clock.

The room was quiet save for the straining air conditioners that now seemed to be humming loudly.

The house was quiet save for sounds coming from the kitchen.

The place was deathly quiet save for the sound of the water.

All was quiet save for the constant humming of insects and the occasional call of a bird.
