Ever dreamed of broadcasting the sounds of your silence to the world? Ever wonder what your silence sounds like? If you answered "yes" to one of these questions, you need to check out SIARA from Navid Gornall.

Gornall is a British designer who has built the SIARA to let people share the "sound of their silence." The [sound of silence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-ambience) isn't actually silence; instead, it is the sound that is being made when you are all alone and thinking of life. For some, it could be the sound of a bumpy city bus making its way home; for others it could be the sound of dogs barking in the backyard. For me, it's the bus.

SIARA is lets you [stream your silence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stream-ring) to the world, letting you reconnect with the sounds of your silence anywhere you go. Check out SIARA from Navid Gornall in the video here. The silence must be heard.
