Just to illustrate how quiet my place is:
I was home reading (nursing my sprained ankle) when I heard a noise and thought that it might be a small rodent gnawing at something. I got up to get something to bang on the walls but somehow during th process I realized that the noise I was hearing was a regular sized spider walking across the geological map I have on the wall.
Footsteps of a spider on paper that's what I was hearing!!!!!
