I live in Fargo. Grew up in Bottineau, ND. I've lived in other states (Minnesota, Washington, California, Australian Capital Territory) but have spent most of my life in ND. I never thought of this place as particularly silent. Sometimes the bugs are annoyingly loud at my parents house on the prairie outside of Bottineau. The wind is almost constant, so you'll hear trees blowing around in the places that have them. Coyotes at night. Squirrels chittering. Woodpeckers. I suppose maybe it's different in the middle of the state where there's nothing but prairie as far as the eye can see, but I doubt it
