'Gedrückt' (dejected) is often used in this meaning with 'Stimmung' (mood), 'Atmosphäre' (atmosphere), or 'Laune' (mood). Typical collocations include 'eine gedrückte Stimmung herrscht' (there is a dejected mood) and 'in gedrückter Stimmung sein' (to be in a dejected mood).

With a voice, 'gedrückt' (subdued) is usually used with 'mit' (with) and the dative, or directly before 'Stimme' (voice). The expression describes how someone sounds when speaking, rather than the content of what they are saying.
