I'd love to drop a fart in the quiet room.

Can a fart in a quiet room cause a hurricane/cyclone? A butterfly to fall to the ground? The tipping point of methane in the atmosphere? What would happen to the forest?

How dare you. But I'd just like to hear the pure timbre of my fart unmolested in this world of noise pollution.

A philosophic POV? Is one's fart real f it's only heard by the emitter? Like a tree falling in a quiet room?

I think you'd have somehow detach the fart from the emitter so you could run the thought experiment in it's purest form. Even if the emitter was totally deaf they'd still be able to detect the acoustic vibrations.

No. But I'm sure it can linger with nowhere to go.

The best fart is the one in the elevator where you get out at the next floor and as the doors close - say to the person in the front of the pack "You dirty bastard!" Angry

The best thing about having kids is the first time you play pull my finger.

Ever played "check my sunburn" with your wife?

Would it be the same if you were out in the middle of the desert without a breath of wind.

That is where I experienced a roaring silence.
I would imagine this room would be MUCH quieter.
Remember sound is in dBs which is a funny scale.
Every 3 dB less is a halving of the noise, from memory

It's almost a reflex action that I notice 'silence', even underwater.

Like a brain thing?

No. Doing some apnea dives off a point in Jervis Bay and I suddenly notice the 'silence' underwater and decided to swim to the rocks before rising the 15m up to the surface to get out. Told me mate and he was like 'yeah right Roll Eyes

' and the following weekend at the same point he was dragged 20m underwater when the big female Whitey took his catch line. "You were right Xav!" Shocked

he admitted.

Walk in on people in a room and if goes quiet, you know they were talking about something or someone that shouldn't be talked about.

Etc, etc.

Edit: In a political or even Media culture - silence is easy to notice. Wink

I have heard noises underwater.
try banging 2 rocks together underwater

With “severe to profound” deafness in my left ear I get that sort of thing late at night when all is quiet. I need to have a radio playing some music to “give the ear something to process.”

To me silence underwater is real but you notice it visually. It seems very quiet when all the life around you disappears. It is also a good sign that there is a predator around. It can be you. You do hear sound underwater if there is a swell crashing on rocks some fish make sound but it is often very quiet too. I don't think you notice the quiet when there are fish swimming around all over the place but when they all disappear the quiet is deafening.
