Silence does have its own sound
By one simple action, the noise went away.
Oddly enough, I was standing in the middle of our local Future Shop, where the ambient sound can approach the level of a small industrial shop. Surround sound, all the time. Ventilation fans, telephones, the kid in the car stereo section; all active simultaneously. And then, I placed the headphones on my head, and I heard music. Nothing else. Not loud, at the threshold of pain. Rather, at the level I’d use if I was sitting quietly, reading and feeding.
