To those who know me they know that I don't like silence. I like the TV or the radio or my Ipod on all the time. Something about silence is just not for me. I want to hear something. I like my TV loud. They make fun of how I must be losing my hearing. But I just want the sound to drown out the silence. I am grateful for the noise. And I am grateful that I can hear it.

NOISE
To those who know me they know that I don't like silence. I like the TV or the radio or my Ipod on all the time. Something about silence is just not for me. I want to hear something. I like my TV loud. They make fun of how I must be losing my hearing. But I just want the sound to drown out the silence. I am grateful for the noise. And I am grateful that I can hear it.

My wife is the same way, has to have sound to drown everything out. TV is almost always on when she's home. Myself, I like the silence, I can sit in it for a long time and be content.
ReplyDeleteSilence is okay....but just for a little bit. I much prefer noise!
DeleteI like it quiet with nothing on unless it is nightime and then I want the TV on for background noise :) Like you, I am glad I can still hear.

I never turn the TV off at night. The silence overwhelms me and then I can't sleep
DeleteI'm a silent person. Complete silence is soothing to me however we often have music playing in the background at our house.
ReplyDeleteI am finding that most people don't like noise. I guess I am special:)
DeleteHi Paula .. I hate noise! Usually silence reigns here ... but I do love music sometimes - just like to work in silence ...
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Hardly is it ever silent at my house. I like it this way
DeleteI LOVE SILENCE! seriously, I go between liking my tunes and complete silence... usually silence reigns and I'm forever asking my boys if they're deaf. LOL They ALL love the noise. Andy will actually have the tv on for noise while he's on the computer working at home. It's crazy!
ReplyDeleteComplete silence makes my mind go places I don't want to linger at.
DeleteWe're opposites on this! I don't like noise, especially loud noise. I don't have to have silence, but any background noise should be low. A loud TV is one of my pet peeves!
ReplyDeleteI do seem to be in the minority!
DeleteI'm somewhere in the middle. I tend to have the tv or music on in the house, but in my car - I kind of like silence. I'm usually one of the only people without ear buds in at the gym - I'd rather read on the bike or elliptical...but sometimes the music makes the workout easier. My favorite thing about swimming is the silence. I think I'm two people....!!!
ReplyDeleteHello sweet Lisa....both of you! I tend to be in the minority here. But I hate silence. Usually
DeleteI never thought about this before. Tom keeps the TV turned on - loudly! - more than I'd like; but I suspect it's to keep his mind from going places it shouldn't. TV and radio are great distractors!
ReplyDeleteThat would be why I have noise on all the time.....silence makes me think about things I don't want to think about.
