Anyone curious about the science of sound, perception, and how our senses construct reality.

TL;DR

Total silence is not peaceful; it scrambles senses and distorts reality. Our brain constructs reality using all senses, with sound playing a crucial role in perception and navigation, even influencing what we see. Sound is not just background noise but a vital indicator of healthy ecosystems and a fundamental aspect of how we and other species understand the world.
