Judging by many of the replies to this QOTW, I would appear to be a bit bizarre in needing peace and quiet. I cant stand the radio/CD on in the car - its just distracting. Any noise (especially music) when Im trying to sleep just keeps me awake. If I'm stressy then I need quiet to calm down.
When I say peace and quiet, however, this for me means freedom from man-made type noises such as stereos, televisions, engines, kids unnecessarily yelling, fireworks, etc.
Birdsong, the wind in the trees, rain, thunder - none of these sounds bother me in the slightest.
I just cant understand how people can live their lives with their ears almost permanently assaulted by (especially) music.

Maybe the rest of us think of a CD in the same way that you think of birdsong. Actually, what would you feel about hearing a CD of birdsong in the car?

Birdsong is a lovely sound, a natural noise, but it's not a sound I want to hear constantly. Its just something that doesn't bother me. Its hard to explain, I like to hear natural sounds, naturally - not forced upon me such as on a cd, even if that cd is of birdsong. Hope that makes sense.

It doesn't take long from where I liveto get out on the plains. I love that out there you shut your car or bike off, and all you hear ( for the most part), is the sound of nothing, or at worst, the wind. I find it very peaceful & soothing. I have been there with people whose only comment is "ooh, it's soooo dead, it's just awful"

If you think music's bad - try advertising, ESPECIALLY local radio links. They're so cheap and shrill that you can actually tell that people paid them to make them rather than it costing them anything.
