Our clap is quiet if not silent
We are small, soft and pliant
Always little or no space between
Before your eyes but rarely seen
What are we?

Eyelids. We can't hear when we blink, they are soft and pliant and has little or no spaces between them when they are closed, "before our eyes" but we can't really see them.

$\begingroup$ Technically the answer I was going for... really unsure what to accept as I still feel this is a better fit but they're virtually the same and I can't say they don't both work. @Eutherpy you got in there first but would you mind me robbing the accept for Vivek here? I'll owe you a shiny +1 $\endgroup$ Aug 17, 2018 at 12:29

$\begingroup$ @BrentHackers I think you marked "eyelashes" as the correct answer by mistake $\endgroup$ Aug 17, 2018 at 15:11

1$\begingroup$ @VivecParekh not by mistake. See my comments. With Eutherpy being so close as to basically give away the answer I initially marked them correct and commented hoping that they'd update. Seemed fair. $\endgroup$ Aug 17, 2018 at 15:29

$\begingroup$ I was thinking of rot13(rlryvqf) but obviously you're close enough that I'll have to mark accepted. +1 $\endgroup$ Aug 17, 2018 at 11:13
