Not the best phrasing, so I'll elaborate. In a submarine a tactic of avoiding detection is to turn off all non-essential systems and have the crew make as little noise as possible to avoid sonar and reduce the heat-signature. Has this ever been used as a tactic by armour?
I'd imagine that a silent and dormant tank in a ruined setting surrounded by the wrecks of other tanks could be unnoticed until the crew brought it to life and ambushed the enemy.
Completely different type of combat, sound in the water travels much further than a tank. That said, static positions is common, with tanks staying hull down while in a defensive formation.
During offense, you will find armor movement start slow to keep dust down (desert environment) and once close to the target area, "gun" it, increasing speed to roll on to the objective as quickly as possible.
During the Yom Kippur war Lt Zvi Gringold used quick maneuvering to hold off 50 Syrian tanks with his lone armor. His maneuvers fooled the Syrians in to believing there were much more Armor hitting them than there actually was. So while this is not the same as going quiet on a sub, as the combat situations will always be different, this would be the armor working to fool the enemy into thinking there is a larger force.
