Sound

Sit still for a moment, and really listen . What can you hear? Even in what seems like silence, you may soon notice the hum of your computer, the ticking of a clock, the electric burr of a refrigerator or an air conditioner, or the faint hum of a car passing by. Humanity's noises are always with us in one form or another.

So if you were seeking to escape this background buzz, where would you start?

First let's assume that you d want somewhere reasonably pleasant to visit.

 Unfortunately, there is absolutely no place on earth that is completely free from human sound all of the time.

And now, it's possible to find forests, seashores or mountains where you can relax for 15 minutes or more completely free from the clatter of human existence.
