Ding! Another text message. An incoming phone call. The blare of music over the radio. The roar of a jet passing overhead. A honking horn. An alarming headline.
This is how we experience a world full of constant noise—fast-paced, fragmented, broken, interrupted. We’re assaulted by sounds at all times of day, from the moment we wake to the shrill piping of the alarm clock until we drift off to sleep to the murmur and flicker of the TV. This perpetual hustle and bustle makes it hard to maintain inner tranquility.
