It's instinct for people to get nervous when things get quiet. Most animals get quiet when they spot or hear a predator. Birds do this. It's so they can pay attention to the danger and become less obvious by keeping quiet. The quiet also sends a signal out to other animals. So the animals are nervous. Humans get nervous and want to talk to alleviate the nervousness but don't realize they are nervous because of natural instinct.
