What Causes the ‘Calm’ of a Quiet Room?

A quiet room feels calm because there’s nothing to bother your ears. When you're in a noisy place, like a busy street or a loud party, your brain gets distracted by all the sounds around you. But when you enter a quiet room, it's like your brain finally gets to rest, no more noise, just peace and silence.
