I am going to tell you about the Sound of silence which is called the inner sound as well. there are two types of sounds. First the sound of known. Second the sound of unknown. The sound of known is the sound which our mind recognize. Like the sound of clap, traffic, wind, and waterfall etc. The other type of sound is the inner sound. You can call it the voice of soul as well.

Here is the link to the video of "THE SOUND OF SILENCE". Its a must watch video.

secondary, there is a research report on the inner sound it includes the following contents:

We usually think of sound and silence as two opposite concepts. In fact, they are not
really opposites of each others. Both sound and silence represent two forms of sounds:
sound as we know it represents audible sound. It is the sound of the Known. On the
other hand, silence represents non-audible sound. It is the sound of the Unknown.

Here's the link to the report. This research tells about the benefits of listening to the sound of silence.

I find myself at odds with the research. I work hard to screen out the internal sounds as I find them disturbing anything but relaxing. We are all different!

Indeed. I respect your expression but we have thousands of methodologies to imply meditation. Go for the fun one. Its all about doing nothing but keeping it natural and playful.
