One Square Inch of Silence (4:22). This is a clip from Nicholas Sherman's film "Soundtracker", a documentary about the search by acoustic-ecologist Gordon Hempton for the last natural environments free of human sound making. Hempton notes that if we could protect one square inch of the soundscape from noise that act of protection would affect 1,000 square miles. Source: You Tube.
