In our roundup of the best offers for September, we’re talking about the most serene places on the planet. Because both experiences bring a sense of peace. See for yourself.
1. Hoh Rain Forest
The Hoh Rain Forest is a rainforest in the United States considered to be the “quietest place in the United States.” A monument known as “One Square Inch of Silence” has been placed here; in essence, it is simply a small red stone. The forest is exceptionally quiet because the mosses absorb sound. On the other hand, this national park attracts around 500,000 tourists a year. Well, it seems there are quieter places out there after all.
In the meantime, something more tranquil. Our new US Mobile Inc. (US) offer with $23.07 payout.
2. Haleakalā
Haleakalā is a national park located on the island of Maui, Hawaii. The crater walls shield the area from the wind, while the absence of animal and plant life creates absolute silence. In the language of the indigenous people, Haleakalā means “House of the Sun”; according to local legend, the demigod Maui imprisoned the Sun here to lengthen the day.
In the meantime, something more tranquil. Our new Angara (US) offer with 0.769% payout.
3. Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni is a dried-up salt lake in the Central Andes of Bolivia, covering an area of 10,582 km². The interior of the lake is covered by a layer of rock salt ranging from 2 to 8 meters in thickness. During the rainy season, the salt flat is covered by a thin layer of water, transforming it into the world’s largest mirror-like surface. Among other things, the location served as the setting for the planet Crait in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”. We haven’t been there ourselves, but we imagine it is quite quiet.
In the meantime, something more tranquil. Our new Verdent (WW) offer with 61% payout.
4. Orfield Laboratories
Orfield Laboratories is a research facility in Minneapolis. Inside the building lies an anechoic chamber—one of the quietest places on Earth—which absorbs 99.9% of sound. A double-walled, hexagonal steel box is suspended on springs within a pentagonal chamber. These two rooms are housed inside an acoustic laboratory featuring concrete walls 30 cm thick. The door to the anechoic chamber is constructed from steel panels covered with fiberglass acoustic wedges, which also line the chamber’s interior surfaces. While inside the room, people can hear the sound of their own blood flowing in their ears. Many experience discomfort.
In the meantime, something more tranquil. Our new 800.com (WW) offer with $96 payout.
5. The Most Peaceful Place
As the anechoic chamber experiment shows, absolute silence is unnatural for humans; therefore, the most serene place isn’t necessarily the quietest one. It might actually be your mom’s noisy house on the day she’s making lasagna. Or your shower, where you sing at the top of your lungs over the sound of running water. True serenity comes from within. Namaste.
