I love the sound of silence and am very intolerant of other peoples' noise. Sadly, like Mollie I can't have complete silence due to 3 different tinnitus sounds which plague me day and night - but I love lying in bed and hearing the wind through the trees and the sound of the waves lapping on the beach 100 yards away. The general hum of everyday life - cars, chatter, the odd aircraft overhead and children playing deadens some of my own internal sounds and is welcome and as Holly says, a visit to a big town or city soon puts one's perception of silence into perspective.
