Our world is so noisy! Quiet time is at a premium. At home, the television or radio is always on. Some of us are surrounded by noisy family or pets. When we’re active many of us have headphones on. Some of us work in noisy offices, factories, even classrooms. All that noise leads to low-grade stress. It's hard to find quiet time.
