The noise of my boys in action has become music to my ears. In fact, I understand somewhat what he is saying. If I had children, I would enjoy listening to them talk and play, just not screaming and wailing. I still find silence to be golden. I find it peaceful and relaxing.
Silence is something to be treasured because it is hard to find.
While in silence, people can focus, reflect, and relax. It is not true that every important thing asserts itself audibly. Often silence says much more than any sound. When speaking, a person may babble on about nothing, and it is useless. Some of my friends love to gossip and they can talk for hours about something very unimportant.
