Using SIMtrace you could detect SMSs going to, or coming from, the SIM.
But that's just one type of silent SMS (depends how you define it), and probably not the one you are thinking of.

OsmocomBB (another project of osmocom) can detect all SMSs (going to the phone), because you control the baseband.
