It's probably much easier to find quiet spots here in Australia, but you ca=
n still have to go a long way and choose the time and spot carefully. A rec=
ording I posted a link to here a year of so ago was made several hundred ki=
lometres inland, 100km from any town, in the middle of a national park. It =
turns out it's under the Melbourne to SE Asia flight path, and I can hear f=
aint gun shots every few minutes all the way through.=0D

Wow. I would think in Australia it would be pretty easy to find quiet as lo=
ng as you got away from the coast. Some of the areas in inland Australia I'=
ve been to were pretty free of any anthrophony. Here in the US it is a lot =
harder to find quiet areas as I am sure it is in Europe.=0D

I was in New Zealand over Christmas this year and was amazed that although =
I was in a small town neighborhood where a lot of people lived, there was l=
ittle or no anthrophony that I could detect most of the time. It was a welc=
ome change to San Antonio, Texas where I live.=0D

Here in Texas, I tend to try to go out into the desert areas. One benefit o=
f those areas is that I can put a mountain range between myself and a busy =
highway by taking a quiet road out into the desert. That generally works as=
a decent sound buffer. Of course, I have to drive 4-5 hours to get that ki=
nd of quiet.=0D

Somewhere I remember someone posting a link to the major airplane flyways. =
Staying out of those can help as well.=0D
