the loudest thing in the room is your own pulse finally calming down.

means A state of calm, peaceful stillness — in a place, a moment, or a mind free from agitation.

from From Latin tranquillus, "calm, still, quiet," most often used of the sea — that glassy hush after a storm. It came into English through the noun tranquillitas via Old French, carrying its maritime serenity ashore: the world stops heaving, and goes still.
