The everyday noise that I barely notice but unknowingly adjust my voice too is my furnace heater. I'm never aware of it when its running, I'm completely oblivious to this noise. I typically recognize that its on because my cat likes to sit on it, but I don't really consider the actual sound.
"We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born." Charles S. Peirce, "Logic of Events" (1898)
