Multidisciplinary perspectives on silence and sound

Overview

Discussions regarding the role of silence have spanned artistic, physiological, and psychological dimensions. Initially, the focus centered on silence as a structural element in music and its health benefits in mitigating noise pollution. Research indicated that quiet environments aid concentration, whereas noise pollution is linked to coronary heart disease.

Subsequent perspectives expanded into the neurological and evolutionary implications of silence. While silence can trigger anxiety due to evolutionary associations with danger, it remains a traditional tool in psychotherapy to facilitate reflection. Additionally, the use of intentional soundscapes and music is being explored as a method for emotional regulation and anxiety reduction in clinical settings.
