After having spent all morning clearing some unwanted junk out of my house, I had had my lunch, turned the TV off...and just sat there in the armchair.....and I listened. Nothing....not a thing.........I sat there for 10 mins or so, wonderfull.
Anyone relate to this?

actually... true silence is impossible... unless you are deaf
john cage actually was asked to visit this chamber that was supposed to be 100% sound proof. no sound what so ever.
but he reported hearing a very low pulse, and a very high eeeeee
it was of course his heart beat, and his spin/brain transfering electircal signals
at least, thats what i heard

better yet...kill yourself. then you'll have COMPLETE silence, or the sounds of your horrible doom in hell. 50/50 chance.

in silence, thinking is very easy, but only on one plain.
I can think about one thing for an hour, no matter how boring, if it is queit.

It was probably tinnitus, the old bugger

I often sit in silence with just the voices in my head telling me to do things. It is really quite relaxing. I often sit in silence for at least an hour, helps me get things straight in my brain. The silence is usually followed by loud sounds though.

there's not too many moments of silence where i live due to train stations and their blaring horns and the fact i live right near an airport and i swear to god my house is directly aligned with the runway, so all planes are always DIRECTLY over us with nice sonic booms accompanying them. but after a nice heavy texas storm, it's total silence - and it is beautiful.

I think you're talking about anechoic chambers.

nothing is a contradiction in terms cos, as nacmat said, nothing does not exist. So therefore if it doesn't exist that clearly is nothing (since it doesn't exist!). Yet nothing doesn't exist

Silence doesn't exsist. An anechoic chamber cuts of all outside sound, but when no sound is present you can hear your body working and moving around.
