Diablo 4 - Silent Chest

Whispering Keys are used to open the Silent Chests you find as you explore the open world. They can be identified by the gold chains that bind them and the large lock adorning their fronts.

To use a Whispering Key, simply interact with a Silent Chests while having the key in your inventory (under Consumables).

Teleport Back to Town and Purchase a Key to Open Silent Chests

If you find a Silent Chest out in the field without a Whipsering Key in your inventory, you can use the Town Portal (press T on PC) to teleport back to your nearest discovered capital city.

From there, use your Obols to purchase a Whispering Key from the Curiosity Vendor before using the same Town Portal to return to where the Silent Chest was in the open world.

Silent Chest Rewards

Opening a Silent Chest with a Whispering Key rewards you with random item drops and some gold. Additionally, starting from Season 1 (Season of Malignant), the overall quality of the rewards from the Silent Chest will be significantly improved.
