Many people imagine recording studios or places where music is played as noisy places in their minds. When in fact, they are usually the opposite much more of the time then there is sound. (As you mentioned above about the guys seeking the studio to "authentic Himalayan silence," is true.) Where there is music practiced and recorded, these are some of the best places to seek the silence. Kind of like the gap. People imagine these places as big party atmospheres with no noise going to be heard of their own, or forced into hearing other sounds that they did not click on the stereo, tv, or mp3 ipod. Total silence to total sound filling a place. So magical, both experiences. Thanks for bringing that up. I have had that subject thrown in my face before in similar situations of conversation, and it is hard to explain sometimes, good point to share. :)
