Silence is a luxury.
I live in the shadow of NYC and in any 10 min block of time will hear a: helicopter/ airplane/ truck/ motorcycle. Garbage is picked up at 3am. There are vague oceanic noises which I imagine are nearby building HVAC systems. Bars and a W hotel add to the general ambient noise.
Spent 2 weeks camping in Iceland this summer and had moments of real silence. Not a brief lull before the next noise but quiet with no expectation of further noise.
- personlurking 12y agoAnd regardless of it being a luxury (which I agree with), do you prefer NYC or Iceland? Or both, but not strictly one or the other?
- mbubb 12y agoI have never lived more than 30 miles from NYC (outside of 3 years in Seoul - which is at least as active as NYC). It is hard to imagine living elsewhere.
