peace and quiet (acre, house, quietness, coyote)

[binallover]

Howdy, new here, just wondering if there are ANY places in the USA that are quiet. I have lived all over the USA and every where there are those inconsiderate morons that drive by "pumping their bass" all hours of the day and night. Well, have a good day, all.

How about living on a dead end dirt road? Gotta have a long driveway to cut down on the dust. Then again you don't want to live on the end of the road since the confused or miscreants naturally wind up there. So try just partway down the dead end dirt road, there you will find peace.

Unless it's isolation out in the country, a small town would not be so bad. There tends to be a quietness when you go to a place like that.

Your only real solution is to find some serious acreage and plant your self squarely in the middle of it.

Maybe not. We live a long way back some the road, never see or hear cars. The birds can be murder in the morning. And not just the crows.

There are still quiet places in the US, but they are disappearing. (See following link.)

There's a fellow who is trying to find quiet places in the US--looking for a place where there can be at least 15 minutes of silence with no evidence of humans...he's calling it the "one square inch" idea--at least one square inch of silence in this nation.

I used to live in Eastern Oregon on a remote ranch. We could hear trucks from in our house in the evening approaching our ranch for 11 minutes before they got to the house...as long as 15-16 minutes if we were outside. I've had people who've never lived in the country think I was exaggerating. I'm pretty OCD, I used to time it...

Here in Tennessee, I live out in the country, no near neighbors, but there's still this ambient noise from distant roads and other human activity. There's just so many more people here than where I was. I miss the space, emptiness and quiet of Eastern Oregon.

I live in one of the most quiet places I've ever been in. This small town is dead silent at night. There are no Airplanes, no helicopters bearly an siren, oh and no trains. Beat that!

Yeah, the several days after 9-11 the lack of airplanes was extremely noticeable. It was eerie NOT hearing them occasionally throughout the day.

If we hear someone playing loud bass music in their car as they drive by we tell their family who tells them to behave.

My parents live on the outskirts of a town of 7,000 people in southern Illinois. At night, you hear dogs barking, coyotes howling in the woods, and on Friday/Saturday, the drag strip that's about 4-5 miles away (very clearly).
