I am confused also, as to both what output you don't like that motivated chell and what exactly hspec silences :) Suffice to say I am able to get a small relevant error message on failure with hspec. I am adding the hspec maintainer to this e-mail- he can answer any of your questions.
The output I didn't like wasn't coming from HUnit, it was coming from the test aggregator I used (test-framework). It prints one line per test case run, whether it passed or failed. That means every time I ran my test suite, it would print *thousands* of lines to the terminal. Any failure immediately scrolled up and out of sight, so I'd have to either Ctrl-C and hunt it down, or wait for the final report when all the tests had finished running. Chell does the same thing as test-framework (aggregates tests into suites, runs them, reports results), but does so quietly. It only reports failed and aborted tests.
