Storyline

The Quiet

It’s a rare sight to not see someone wearing headphones on the bus, on the street, or on the bike. We all love the distraction, whether we’re playing TikToks or listening to music on our way home or to work and school. Or maybe we’re enjoying the peace after a long day; a way of escaping the streets, ignoring stares, and protecting ourselves from unfriendly sounds.
