I like the sound of it. Hearing silence. Just the phrase sounds good : )
Yes, I think you can, too. Just like you can see the absence of color—black—you can tell when you’re hearing the absence of sound—silence. That’s how we’ve got a name for it. Someone heard it: “Hey, what’s that lack of noise?” Someone else: “Uh… sounds like sss… siii… silence!”
For me silence is kind of like with @woodcutter. I hear not a hiss, but a weird, hard to describe tone. I can tell it’s coming from inside me, but it’s so quiet that I guess I can only hear it when the rest of the world ssshs.
In my car silence is my seventh preset radio station. It’s my favorite. The one I only realized I had when I couldn’t stand any of the songs on the six I’ve programmed into the car radio. It was so liberating to just hit the off button and not have to listen to the sound waves being jammed into my ears.
Where my house is, if you’re inside and have nothing on, it can be dead silent but in the most still and calm way. I like that, too. I’ll just sit there and enjoy it
