Abstract: With our continued population growth, we are forced to build more homes, raise more food, create more jobs, build more factories to supply the things we need to survive in this world of ours. All these activities are associated with noise. It has been said that you can almost hear the population explosion. Noise, as we encounter it In our daily life, is very relative, depending on the circumstances under which it is heard. Lets assume youre sitting on the back terrace under the stars relaxing and you suddenly are aware of the crickets singing or the locust in the trees across the valley or youre out fishing at night listening to the frogs croaking maybe youre in your office thinking on a problem and you notice the hum of the light ballast and last, but not least, youre lying in bed trying to go to sleep and the alarm clock is ticking about 90dB. These are what 1 call the Sounds of Silence. They are the sounds you are suddenly aware of, when everything else is silent. Its the everything else we are concerned with here so that we may continue to be aware of The Sounds of Silence.
