I'm looking for an expression that allows me to say when someone's voice becomes inaudible or silent, something like a phrasal verb.

    you need to add some more context. You want someone for that person or the action of going mute?

    Imprek, please provide an example sentence in which you might fit such a word or phrase. "The old ladies pottered off in the direction of the few shops in the village, their chattering dying away slowly until the songs of birds and the wispering of the leaves were again the only sounds to be heard".

As a person's voice becomes softer and softer it trails off until it is imperceptible.

I personally use fading away a lot to describe this, for example:

His voice faded away in the distance as we travelled.

or

As the train sped away from the station, the noise and commotion from the city faded away slowly.
