I was listening to a
Sierra Club podcast today on a very noisy bus about

Olympic National Park in Washington state (U.S.A.) The podcast made me consider how noisy the world is. The mission, therefore, of this blog, is to present audio files of what we think is silence. Perhaps we may find some. Perhaps it is impossible. I don't know.

The rules are simple: record less than 20 seconds of what you think is silence, post it to whatever file service you choose (I suggest the
Internet Archive), and sit back and enjoy the silence.
In any case, here is my first prototype for The Silence Project:
