Esperanto splits English quiet three ways and expects you to choose. is about sound, or the lack of it. is about not being troubled, the state of mind. sits between them: still, unagitated, nothing stirring. A sleeping baby is kvieta; a person who has stopped worrying is trankvila.

The root works normally, so i is to calm something down, i is to settle, and a is restless or fidgety. Kviete as an adverb is the usual way to say someone did something without a fuss.
