*The Step of Silence can be seen in the game during the level [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]]. If the player looks up in a certain room, he/she will see dozens of glowing blue/green shards hanging from the ceiling. There are exactly 76 shards in all — 19 shards in 4 rows. Each of these shards represents 1 planet [[Glassed]] by the Covenant.

*During the level [[Cortana(Level)|Cortana]] in ''Halo 3'', the part of the level where you rescue [[Cortana]] from the Statis Field bears strong resemblence to the Step of Silence - the pedestal in the center of the room is distinctly recognizable, even though features such as the sharded roof and glass window are not present because the [[Flood]] destroyed them and instead either filled the area with large amounts of biomass or simply left a hole there. The doors on each side of the room are recognizable too, if one paid attention to the geometry of the room during Halo 2, when the character was in the only mildly Flood-infested Step of Silence.
