Small creek in forest along Snowgrass Trail, Goat Rocks Wilderness, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington State, USA
Gordon Hempton has made a career-sized quest for natural spots free from human noises. A generation ago about 15 locations in the continental USA fit his strict definition (15 minutes uninterrupted by people's sounds). More recently the number has dropped to just a few.

This video clip is only a few seconds long, but is representative of this are near the south boundary of the Manistee National Forest about a mile from the North Country Trail start near the Croton Dam on the Muskegon River in west Michigan's Newaygo County. Only a moment of quiet passes before a car or truck passes on the paved (Croton) road further north. Other times during the day hike gunshots, jets, prop planes, helicopters, deafening motorcycles, and the shouts of possibly inebriated river float recreators interrupted the sounds of the woods: a dozen different bird voices, wind passing through evergreen needles and summer foliage, buzzing of winged insects, and the ambient hum of so much that is green and growing.
