"By and large, silence is not a virtue or a valued commodity in our fast-paced world. For us modern humans, especially those of us needful of, or immersed in technology, silence is virtually not an option. We have swapped the natural sounds that have been part of human existence over eons of time . . . for artificially generated noises . . . More alarming than constant noise is that apparent sense of normalcy and perhaps the possibility that we NEED constant noise . . . I believe the persistent presence of noise interferes with what we are as human beings."
