Perhaps they are tuning out the ambient noise so they can listen to sounds they enjoy, but most music to me is noise pollution! Thankfully, I too can tune out most sounds - except those of the chirping birds, the bubbling brook, and the wind rustling the leaves... :-)Dideehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796021462409851150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622223304958223870.post-23018275133927369582010-02-18T19:52:33.259-05:002010-02-18T19:52:33.259-05:00Anvilcloud, I was thinking of you and your hearing...Anvilcloud, I was thinking of you and your hearing aids. What an advantage that is at times!<br />QMM, how lucky you are to be in the country.<br />Flightplot, it sounds like you are in quite a noisy place! Glad you can tune much of it out and enjoy whatever silence you can find.Dorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622223304958223870.post-2747678245762314832010-02-18T05:59:21.824-05:002010-02-18T05:59:21.824-05:00I live in a block of flats,next to a busy road, un...I live in a block of flats,next to a busy road, under the final approach to a military airfield and the railway isn't far away so sadly I rarely experience silence at home! Much of the time it's not as bad as it seems but I guess that I've become used to it and also tune much of it out.<br />When it is silent, wherever I am, I relish and make the most of it because as you say it happens less and less often!

God has blessed HH and I with retirement and we are in the country. There are sounds but not like the daily grind of the city.
