“Pure silence is a powerful rarity in the city's soundscape. Silence is positively associated with many quality of life indicators, such as mental acuity, reducing anxiety and better sleep.” is the famous artist John Cage in Jocelyn The book "The Emancipation of Urban Noise: John Cage's Music as Acoustic Ecology" by Beausire. By constructing to create and implement absolute silent ideals, a sound hierarchy of soundscapes has also been established, and its social impact has not yet been fully recognized by architects and planners in designing public spaces, directing public space soundscapes, or performing acoustic guides. Policy makers. This identity is called "acoustic home." Acoustics play a particularly prominent role in the prescribed part of the process, usually by three methods: acoustic science, psychoacoustics and acoustic ecology. The absolute silence ideal is created and implemented on the shoulders of acousticians, planners, policy makers and designers. A sound hierarchy is also established. Architects and planners design public spaces, acousticians. A policy maker who directs public space soundscapes or performs acoustic guides.
    In class we watched a short video about the silent public space "John Cage's 4'33", where the performance was completely silent, because the performers would not use their instruments in their performances. Initially, when the performer is about to start, the audience will remain quiet for a long time, but over time the audience begins to notice that the small noises in the hall, such as coughing, are amplified over time.
Through a study of comfortable silence, I performed a 30 second sound recording. In order to highlight the comfort of the silent element, I chose a rainy day to record the sound. I drew the form of sound on 420 x 420 mm format paper. There are obvious sounds in this photo that remember the type. For example, the sound of raindrops falling on the window. I am recording sounds where I live.
