Silence Can Drive You Crazy?

Living in the city, we are always surrounded by so much noise and shouting; it’s almost frightening. I live in the city, and sometimes the noise is so bad that I feel like I’m going crazy. But the blog I want to write about today is not sound pollution; rather, the opposite of it. It’s about Silence. Silence is something all of us like. We want to be in a quiet place always. That’s why noise-canceling headphones sales have gone way up over the years and are still growing. Everyone likes to be in their bubble and not listen to other people. And so, we like to be in a
