The quietest area
The Dwingelderveld is known as “The quietest area” in the Netherlands. The vast silent heather of the Dwingelderveld is one of the last areas with undisturbed horizon, where darkness at night is still real darkness and where are no sounds of nature drowned out by highways, railwaysor other sound sources.
The recordings were recorded on May 18and 19 2021. For example, you can hear how it sounds at 4:00 pm or 4:00 am. How quiet it is at times what do you hear? Birds, wind what rustles through the trees, traffic, planes? Listen and find out for yourself!
Silence is a Soundscape-Soundart-Ecology project exploring the acoustic relationships between living organisms, humans and others, and their environment, in a area which is regarded as the quietest area in the Netherlands.
