I'd love to find some. Even in a virtually empty state park, a hundred miles from the city it's interrupted by a passing jet every ten to fifteen minutes.
In the winter, when we turn off the ski lifts at the end of the day and there are no cars on the (closed) highway, it's lovely. Then I start to hear the whistling echoes of too many rock concerts.
In summer, you can be a few miles from the highway and still hear the cars, and there's water rushing or splashing everywhere which, while it's a pleasant sound, is an impressive wall of white noise masking the quieter sounds of bears about to eat you.

Gordon Hempton has spent the past 30 years warning people about the consequences of the disappearance of natural quiet on Earth, which he calls a “solar-powered jukebox.” And now that the world is a little less noisy, he’s asking us, once again, to listen.
That's an interesting article; I've heard about "Quiet Parks" before - like the one they mention near Asheville, NC. But "God of Silence" seems like a silly title to give someone. I guess that's the fault of the writer though; I don't imagine Hempton calls himself that.

Sorry about that. I'm doing some rewiring in our server room & I accidentally pulled a plug. Back up now.
I had a guest and suddenly...I scrambled over here to see wtf and couldn't figure it out of course so tried Pandora and that was a nightmare trying to get anything I really wanted to hear and keep hearing stuff I want to hear, so I turned it all off.
