9. we cacophonyphobics need a new word for silence

Apr 2017

The earth is not silent...crickets, dew forming, bob-whites, trees talking, stars rustling. That is peaceful, restorative sound. The only place I've found it in the past few decades was in the middle of the Kgalagadi desert between the noise of planes overhead. Any suggestions for describing the sound of nature?
earthsound?
earthsong?
