Squelch is common in the right circles.
It is the term for cutting out the static electricity based background
audio noise from radio receivers. Back in the day, it was an adjustable
dial, so anyone who used a radio (including ex-military and their
family) would be familiar with the term.
It's not so common nowadays because there is auto-squelch and auto
tuning on most receivers, but it's still part of the lexicon ;-)
