Welcome to Quiet UK. This has been a vision of mine for several years, but one I kept putting off because I didn’t want to launch it until it was perfect. But what is perfect? So, I’ve decided to launch this as a work in progress. My vision for Quiet UK is to support those with hearing health issues, sound sensitivities and everyone who finds the world just a little bit too loud. Together we can work to quieten the human-made noise on our planet.
Over the coming weeks and months, I’ll be adding more content and sharing my goals and ambitions for Quiet UK.

I’ve also added a contact form so please share your experiences and suggestions for content you’d like to see.

I enter a large room, peeling magnolia paint, tiny cell-like window, two chairs in the middle of…

Today’s happy sound…
There are crickets in my garden! After several years of rewilding, my garden is now home to the rhythmic sound of crickets searching for a mate.
