Well maybe not the sound of silence ... maybe just silence the anthrophony just for a few moments. I have hiked in some remote areas and it never ceases to amaze the man-made noise (anthrophony) that makes its way everywhere. The Jun2008 issue of Wired magazine had an interesting essay on how man-made noises may be altering the easth's ecology (sorry, could not find the essay online). Of course it makes sense that we are effecting an ecological change with our ever-louder noise, including adding to our stress level. I know more than one person who avoids most media for its ability to agitate.
The essay also pointed me to the WildSanctuary.com site where I listened to some very cool sound bites recorded worldwide. They are the sounds of the nature. Go over and take a listen. Share it with some noisey people. Maybe it will help the loud talkers turn it down a notch when they are on their cellphones.
