    The winter one at least is easy to explain. The snow absorbs ambient noise. People don’t realize just how much ambient noise is around due to just the breeze, bugs, etc, until the soft snow turns the entire world into an anechoic chamber.

      I have to remember “anechoic” for Spelling Bee. Although it probably won’t be in the list, just like the birds and animals it rejects.
