I went in search of the ultimate modern luxury – total silence
In a noisy world, peace carries a premium. But the total absence of sound can be toxic
In this immersive Telegraph feature by Susie Mesure, prepare to be taken on a journey into the growing demand for quiet. From the tranquillity of a night inside Antony Gormley’s sculptural ROOM at The Beaumont to one of the world’s quietest spaces at the University of Salford, where near silence feels almost otherworldly.
Discover why true silence is so difficult to find and why so many people are actively seeking it, with insights from leading voices, including Quiet Mark’s Poppy Szkiler, who helps explain the rising focus on acoustic wellbeing.
You will also see how brands are responding to this shift, from the near silent Rolls Royce Spectre EV to Vitra’s Quiet Mark certified Quantum Flush WC. Together these examples reveal how changing attitudes to noise are shaping homes, technology, travel and even luxury design.
