Well, something is not good. One thing that bit me was the ground wire from the battery to the frame. Check to see that it's tight and not a lot of frayed wires sticking out. Corrosion can be a killer too.

check to see if your fuel pump shut off switch has been activated.

With the 'no sound at all' I would assume it is not even cranking.

The ground is a good basic place to start.
