	No. 551: The Sounds of Silence
		The sound of silence is Paul Simon's wrenching metaphor for our inability to hear one another in the midst of our own noise.
		Sound -- any sound -- is a pattern of density variations that travel like waves through air.
		So we are daring to disturb the sounds of silence after all.

	The Eloquent Sounds of Silence by Iyer Pico - Articles - House of Solitude - Hermitary
		Silence, like all the best things, is best appreciated in its absence: if noise is the signature tune of the world, silence is the music of the other world, the closest thing we know to the harmony of the spheres.
		In Tibet, where the silence has a tragic cause, it is still quickened by the fluttering of prayer flags, the tolling of temple bells, the roar of wind across the plains, the memory of chant.
		Silence, then, could be said to be the ultimate province of trust: it is the place where we trust ourselves to be alone; where we trust others to understand the things we do not say; where we trust a higher harmony to assert itself.

		Sound waves travel through the air in much the same way as ripples from a drop of rain spread over the surface of a lake.
		The speakers subsequently generate the reverse sound in the form of pressure waves in anti-phase with the unwanted noise.
		Since the sound is detected and transmitted at approximately the same location, the signal analysis must be extremely fast.

	The Sound of Silence ( Paul Simon ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The sound of "Sounds" is enormously pleasing, and the language is chosen with care, but the tone is too didactic, most gnawingly when the singer becomes the ignored sage ("but my words like silent raindrops fell") after his offer to lead ("take my arms...").
		The image of silence as a cancer, growing and wiping out the possibility of communication, is powerful, as is the famous image of the neon sign, representing the empty commercialism pervading life, being worshipped as a god.
		Simon's solo version of 'Sound' is his personal vision, with all the introspective bitterness and sense of failure up front in his vocal delivery, which contrasts markedly with the arranged, professional interpretation he clings to in the harmony vocal version.

	The Observer \| Food monthly \| Health: Sounds of silence
		People with tinnitus can hear a range of sounds within their head, but the most common seem to be hissing, ringing, roaring, banging or clicking noises which are experienced in one or both ears or somewhere within the centre of the head.
		Beethoven and Schumann were both tormented by head noise, almost as if the requisite sensitivity to sound that being a composer or musician requires leads to a 'tuning in' to the peculiar sounds of the brain.
		It is thought that some head sounds might arise from increases or changes in the pattern of nerve activity from both the ear and the parts of the brain that deal with how we hear sound.

	The Sounds and Silence
		Other mics measure "total airborne noise" to the driver, then a variety of different inputs - noise from the top of the engine, exhaust tone, intake sound - are studied to determine their individual contribution.
		Equally complex, however, is the process of quantifying the sound "signatures" that become the testing targets.
		He takes the sounds - and sometimes just the plain loudness, or lack thereof - and employs sophisticated sound-quality software to quantify the "target" noise.

		To this we would add that silence should also be observed after Mass until one is outside the Church building, both for respect toward the Blessed Sacrament, and toward those members of the faithful who wish to prolong their thanksgiving after Mass.
		This form of interior silence does not impede, and indeed favors, full and active participation in those parts of the celebration where the community is united in acclamation and song, for each person is more fully aware of what he or she is doing.
		Our modern world is starved of silence and Holy Mass should be a privileged moment to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and, through worship and participation in Christ's eternal sacrifice, become capable of giving an eternal value to these same daily and transitory activities.

	Smallmouth: Sounds Beyond Silence (Seattle Weekly)
		So the first deliberate sound that emerges from that background noise is the voice in isolation, talking to itself.
		THE ONLY REAL silence is the silence of a moment after it's passed, and for the last hundred years or so, there's been a way around that: recording.
		The British artist's music is built around the sound of recordings and their playersnot the performances stored on them, but the baseline noises of the material objects themselves.

		As we saw in the previous article, after Communion a period of silence should be observed or a hymn may be sung which is different from the hymn sung by all during the reception of Communion.
		In general it is best to observe the period of silence and even on those occasions when a suitable hymn is sung, it seems preferable that it be a meditative piece executed by the choir so as to also allow for silent thanksgiving.
		It may sometimes be possible to combine both methods, either leaving a brief period of silence after a hymn or else concluding a period of silence with a psalm or song of thanksgiving either executed by the choir or by the whole congregation.

	Sounds Of Silence (Remaster) - Wal-Mart
		Though it was their second album, SOUNDS OF SILENCE was the record that introduced Simon & Garfunkel to the world at large.
		SOUNDS OF SILENCE marked the introduction proper of Simon as sensitive song poet: intellectual, well-read, politely iconoclastic, self-consciously poetic--the perfect '60s folk-pop idol.
		Within weeks, the song (retitled "The Sounds Of Silence") was number 1 in the US charts, and Simon and Garfunkel were hastily reunited.

		I forced myself to confront silence head on as I have confronted aloneness, memory, the reality of my future.
		This is not the talking to ourselves most of us do, but a deeper communication that may not even need words, just emotion and thought, memory and imagination responding to each other.
		I do not live in silence as if I were a monk in a holy order, but I am learning to be more selective about the sounds I allow in my life.

	Sounds of Silence: Nets Air Censored Saddam Footage
		Throughout the day, several news nets said it wasn't always clear which footage was from what source, and that it could have been DOD footage, meaning the Pentagon was directly controlling what was being heard.
		News nets receiving the transmissions were alerted to the fact that authorities had ordered that there be no audio, and it was up to each individual net to decide whether to air that part of the video that had sound.
		Some news editors spent hours scouring the portion of the tape with audio for harsh words leveled at President Bush by Saddam, but could not find the quote reported by New York Times reporter John Burns, who was the pool print reporter in the courtroom and accompanied by a translator.

		But to date, there has been little systematic academic exploration of why “organizational silence” is pervasive, or of the consequences of widespread silence – even in an era in which management universally extols the virtues of greater communication.
		A third erroneous belief that tends to be held by managers in organizations characterized by silence is that unity, agreement and consensus are signs of organizational health, while disagreement and dissent should be avoided.
		We believe, therefore, that a climate of silence is rooted not only in objective features of the workplace, but also in social interactions that contribute to sensemaking processes.

		In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence.

		By using a four-speaker system that tightly surrounds the cooling fan, they were able to reduce the overall sound made by the fan to around 12 decibels.
		While it sounds ironic, the concept of fighting noise with noise works because sound travels through the air in waves of fluctuating pressure.
		However, ridding the air completely of unwanted noise is essentially impossible since the two sound waves must simultaneously arrive at the same spot to totally eliminate the original sound.

	MELUS: The Sounds of Silence: Remembering and Creating in Margarita Engle's "Singing to Cuba"
		To form this monument to memory and to sing the silenced words of the Cuban people, Engle/the narrator(5) emphasizes the novel's goals in the style of the narrative, choosing to stress remembering not only through what is said but also through how it is said.
		As she describes the silence she encounters in Cuba, the narrator clearly wants to capture the pervasiveness of this state, and so she directly challenges the reader to comprehend the horror.
		The narrator clarifies that Cuba is not simply a quiet island, but a silenced island, constantly uttering phrases such as "melancholy silence" (19), "a mysterious spell of silence" (20), and "how penetrating that silence became" (21) to describe conditions there.

	John Cage and the Avant-Garde: The Sounds of Silence
		Written in 1952, it came at the exact mid-point of his 80-year life of discovery and culminated his exploration of indeterminacy, music in which some elements are carefully scripted with others left to chance.
		While the performer makes as little sound as possible, Cage breaks traditional boundaries by shifting attention from the stage to the audience and even beyond the concert hall.
		Its idea sounds simplistic and even stupid, but performances are fascinating, since they involve each listener so fully and intimately.

		When "Sounds of Silence" came out as a single in late 1965, I was already becoming a thirteen year old devotee of folk-rock--the Byrds, the newly gone electric Dylan.
		I started to believe that "poetic" songs like "Sounds of Silence" were pretty darn pretentious and sophomoric, after all.
		Rather than a mess of demos and mono mixes that sound essentially the same (the policy that Columbia pursued on much of the other Paul Simon rereleases), this CD actually has four previously unavailable, mostly good songs to its credit.

		In terms of power, the sound of the jet engine is about 1,000,000,000,000 times more powerful than the smallest audible sound.
		Any sound above 85 dB can cause hearing loss, and the loss is related both to the power of the sound as well as the length of exposure.
