No.

Sound quite a pleasant idea to me, especially for people who live in cities and can't get peace. Imagine if you were ill in some place like Hounslow and could put this on headphones and drift off to sleep... :-)

I recommend Wingerworth Parish Church, near Chesterfield, for magnificent acoustical silence. A wonderful place for choirs to sing also.

Not necessarily true. Mike Batt included a track titled "A One Minute's Silence" on a CD and was taken to court by Cage's estate.
