I wish I could hear silence. I play radios and music all the time to distract me from the high pitched whistle in my ears. Sometimes it gets very loud, especially when there is no other noise to compete with it. I love to walk in the woods and listen to the sounds around me but that damned whistle gets in the way of small sounds.

You guys are lucky to hear silence, even those of you who don't like it.

Of course, if I could identify the note I'm hearing I could use it as a tuning fork! This just occurred to me. I'll have to experiment...
