Silence is unnatural. Most of humanity's ancestors grew up in the wilderness that was replete with noises.

A forest on a still night is much quieter than most urban areas.

There's nature not-silence--or a computer-generated version of same--and there's TV (or even music for the most part). Also tons of sounds in my house even if I don't put something on but mostly want to work without added inputs.

Exactly. Some steady sounds mask the intermittent sounds that are otherwise more interruptive.
