Speak Up For Silence? What silence??

["Donald Weiser" <>]

I live in the mountains of western North Carolina.  The highest 
elevations east of the Mississippi.  I knew it was beautiful here but 
I also thought it was fairly quiet until I decided to record the birds 
and the two brooks in back of my house.  There's nothing like 
attempting a little Nature recording to show you just how NOISY it is 
where you thought it was quiet.  Airplanes are the biggest offenders 
here, both the passenger jets and the smaller one or two engine 
planes.  The smaller airplanes are the worst in my humble opinion as 
they have very loud engines, they fly lower, and they fly slower so 
they're in audible range longer.
It's a noisy world and probably will only get noisier.
