A noisy street scene in Bangkok, Thailand
In this week's programme, we talk about noise and its opposite: peace and quiet.
Living in a city can be a noisy experience. Some people find the sounds comforting, while others move to the countryside to get away from it all. But even those who seek tranquillity can never find complete silence.
Rob and Finn discuss solutions to the problem of noise as well as words and phrases related to the subject.

除了提示给的语气词不用写~
Actually Rob, when you say 'silence is golden' it actually means it's often better to say nothing at all than say something stupid – so maybe it's time for us to stop making any more noise and just get out of here?
Not before I've given you the answer to today's question. Earlier, I said a new survey in the UK has identified the ten jobs where people are most exposed to noise. I asked which of these three jobs has the most exposure to noise?
And I said c) an airport ground staff worker. Was I right?
You were absolutely right. The answer is an airport ground staff worker. People who direct jet engines in landing and take-off and are subjected to 140 decibels of sound in one go. It's important to cover your ears with ear muffs in a job like that! OK, that's all we have time for today but please join us again soon for more 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
