The atmosphere in the room was filled with silence, creating a sense of stillness. To disrupt this quiet and mask any unsettling thoughts, I approached the television and switched it on to an inactive channel, producing a loud white noise. This constant sound was not only helpful for blocking out any distractions but also like a sound blanket that could facilitate sleep.

In "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Hunter S. Thompson captures the essence of using noise as a refuge from reality. The white noise serves as a means to shield oneself from the strange occurrences and chaotic thoughts that may arise during a turbulent journey, reinforcing the desire for peace amidst the surrounding madness.
