“Intellectual clarity and a poetic, receptive ear for sound’s significance in our real and imagined worlds distinguish this captivating book. Highly original, it advances the literature on sound, radio, and attentive listening.” (Robyn Ravlich, writer and independent radio feature maker, Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

“There is no more original thinker than Seán Street in considering the role of sound in our past, present and future, from absolute silence to the babble of broadcasting. The Sound inside the Silence invites us to consider sound as an event in itself that enhances our imagination, by extension confirming the importance of what we hear to the way we perceive and understand the world.” (Charlie Connelly, author of Attention All Shipping and Last Train to Hilversum)
