The Price of SilenceUS$0.99 per track of silence it turns out. There's a bunch of, uh, 'tunes' that have been created over the years that consist of nothing but silence. The guys over at Appleturns.com managed to unearth these ones on iTunes, all for sale for just under a buck...

• "(Silence)" by Ciccone Youth, The Whitey Album (1:03)


• "Silence" by Bill Schaeffer, Grain of Sand (1:56)


• "(Silent) [1]" by Slum Village, Trinity (Past, Present, and Future) (0:04) [EXPLICIT]


• "Silence" by Guster, Keep It Together (0:30)


• "Silence" by Pat, Message from a Manchild (0:59)


• "(Silent) [2]" by Slum Village, Trinity (Past, Present, and Future) (0:04) [EXPLICIT]


• "Silence" by Dean Taba, More Is More (1:00)


• "(Silent) [3]" by Slum Village, Trinity (Past, Present, and Future) (0:07) [EXPLICIT]


• "Silent Track" by Robert Earl Keen, Walking Distance (1:01)

Particularly like the [EXPLICIT] warnings on those Slum Village tracks. They also sell [CLEAN] versions of the same tracks, so you can still make a grandma-friendly compilation of silence using those tracks should you be so inclined. As the Appleturns crew point out...

"And there you have it: nine tracks of professionally-encoded silence-- a total of six minutes and forty-four seconds of the yawning void, all yours for just $8.91. And if you like, you can even keep the EXPLICIT tracks in the main playlist, add the CLEAN ones at the end, and get fifteen bonus seconds of silence for just $2.97 more! Talk about your seven minutes in heaven, right?"
