relatively weak or less obvious bowel sound heard during auscultation, which may indicate slowed intestinal motility, usually accompanied by constipation or decreased intestinal function.

refers to complete absence of bowel sounds during auscultation. This may be a complete loss of intestinal function, usually accompanied by severe intestinal obstruction or paralysis.
