I don't think I have experienced any actual silence for years. I work in a busy loud office, I commute on a noisy train, I fall asleep listening to podcasts or am radio - Does silence even exist in our modern cities? Is the "complete absence of sound" actually possible when thousands of people are densly existing in concrete, artificially lit habitats that are open for business 24/7/365?
