Words can impact your silence especially if said loudly. Language is meant to communicate between two skulls orders and ideas. If one monkey is being loud and one monkey silent then all good. If the silent monkey starts getting annoyed at the loud monkey then we have a problem as silence will soon turn to action from the loud and silent monkey.

It's entirely situation-dependent.

Does silence bring about higher quality living? — Bret Bernhoft

Maybe. I think it’s a preference. I like silence. And I can go days without talking. I feel no benefits from it except the joy of silence itself.

Mostly I like silence, natural sounds, and the occasional human utterance. I prefer—it feels like I absolutely need—silence when I’m reading. I get stressed by constant traffic noise. I get angry at people who use car horns needlessly. I love music but I hate the ubiquity of background music.

But sometimes I love being in amongst the noise of the city and talking and laughing noisily all night.

But what does this have to do with philosophy? We have a social science section and I think noise and ambient sound could be explored in terms of psychology and sociology, and from there it could get philosophical, but the way the OP frames the topic it just seems to be about personal preference. Discussing how silence might help you feel more philosophical is not itself philosophical.

I’m not moving it to the Lounge as yet. Let’s see what happens.
