Title: The article from a few days ago (&quot;This is your brain on silence&quot;) got me wondering how many of us here search out silence at home? And if so, why?<p>As I get older, I&#x27;m finding my preference for silence increases. Nature sounds are included in my definition of silence, thus I&#x27;m more talking about an aversion to man-made noise. I want my home to be free of noise and commotion, as those two things, in my mind, are related to the outside world and being in public. Basically, I want that option and contrast to always exist, between public and private…and I think an attempt at silence should be the norm, even in public (which makes me think I might enjoy living in Japan).<p>In terms of why I feel the way I do, well, I&#x27;m not quite sure (but it may have to do with liking nature, being an introvert, a minimalist, a writer, and with growing up in a house where silence was a pipe dream).
