The sound of deafening silence...

You're trying to sleep in the middle of the night, and you can't hear anything.

There's absolutely nothing to hear, neither the ticking of a clock, nor the vents of the AC, or really anything for that matter. All is quiet.

And yet... My eardrums are fit to burst! Do you ever feel that way? The sound of silence is so loud you almost can't take it?

Yeah, you can like hear the sound of nothing. It's odd.

Yes it is quite freaky actually.

Hello darkness my old friend.....Lockedge

Silence is very creepy so that's whyI turn my radio on all the time:P

Yeah, especially when you wake up during the night to a house of silence and want to fall asleep quickly! :P

Apparently its the sound of blood flow.dramaybaz

Hmm... interesting. Is there a way to confirm this?

I always have at least a fan on. I have a ringing in my ears and when there's no ambient noise it drives me crazy.

I know just what you are talking about. It is hell.

Kind of, I get a little ringing in my ears in complete silence. It's not bad though.

It's the best sort of noise! Unless you're in a room full of people - now that's just
awkward >.
