Tranquillity & SecretSound
SecretSound
I keep wondering if a quiet room can actually be louder than a crowded one. What's your take?
Tranquillity
In a quiet room the silence can feel like a shout, while in a crowded one the noise becomes background music you almost forget you’re hearing it. It’s the difference between hearing yourself and hearing everyone else.
SecretSound
I hear that too—like the quiet room presses all the thoughts into a single, sharp note. In the crowd you get a hum that blends with your own voice, almost masking it. So in both cases, your own sound is still there, just on a different frequency.
Tranquillity
Exactly, the quiet room makes your mind’s whisper feel like a drumbeat, while the crowd turns it into a gentle wind that you almost forget is there. Both keep your voice alive, just on different beats.
SecretSound
That’s the thing—when the room is still, my thoughts feel like a metronome that I can’t ignore, but in the noise the same thoughts are just a breeze, drifting past. It’s like my inner music is always playing, only the accompaniment changes.
Tranquillity
So you’re a metronome in silence and a wind in the crowd—both the same song, just different conductors. The quiet forces you to hear each beat, the noise lets the melody float. Both ways, you’re still the musician, only the audience changes.
