Silence is rare in the Netherlands, even though more and more people need to escape the noise and hectic pace of everyday life on a regular basis. Sometimes silence is still within reach, take a walk through a city park early in the morning or sit in your garden at dawn and listen quietly to nature - nature's sounds are rarely experienced as noise. In this guide we explain which nature sounds you can hear at home and on the road.

However, if you want to immerse yourself in the silence for a long time, a walk through a quiet area (where it is not always completely silent) is recommended.
