The "sound" of Silence.

[bigpaul]

it has always occurred to me that in this modern age where the sound of music playing, doors banging, children screaming, adults talking, car horns, delivery vans "this vehicle is reversing" etc.etc, I wonder if most people are actually AFRAID of silence and how they will cope with it once TSHTF...no traffic noise, no aeroplane noise, we will be able to hear even slight noises for miles(I can hear the noise of the freezer motors in the farm shop for half a mile and I can hear the chickens for over a mile and that's NOW .....and my hearing isn't that good ), will they be able to cope? or will they go mad because its so quiet?? discuss please.
