Silence in our house only occurs when everyone is asleep. As soon as the first person gets up, one or more TV's are turned on. Add to that all the noises kids make, dogs barking, appliances running, the phone ringing, and too many other sounds to list, it is far from tranquil. We get in the car and the radio plays mixed with the sounds of video games. There is music, laughter, and chatter in restaurants and stores. Nearly everywhere we go there is noise. To some extent I think you begin to block out many noises that are always there. I have gotten to the point that I have to have some sort of noise or I don't like it. I guess you have to wonder how it all really effects our health.
