The loudest noise in the world is silence.
The word is a sound of some sort and that's where the energy comes from.
More noise occurs from a single man shouting than a hundred thousand who are quiet.
Sounds are vibrations and the more you can put into that vibration, the more you can get out, action and reaction, that's the thing to tell the people.
Loudness is impotence.
We need a certain amount of energy to produce the sound. But then to sustain it, we have to give more energy, or otherwise, it goes and it dies in silence. And therefore, sound is absolutely, inextricably connected to time, the length of time.
Sound waves do not die out. They travel forever and forever. All our sentences are immortal. Our useless bleatings circle the universe for all eternity.
A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.
Of course you don't make any noise in space, because there's no air.
The voice is nothing but beaten air.
The harmony of a concert, to which you listen with delight, must have on certain classes of minute animals the effect of terrible thunder; perhaps it kills them.
