I'm typically aware of my sound profile. My father used to take me hunting when I was very young, and he was very quick to praise me if I could tramp through the forest quietly. Sometimes I still find myself rolling from the outside of my foot just for the heck of it.

I think this has extended into other things that I do. Sometimes I am just conscious of moving through my environment without much disturbance.

That said, I like a bit of activity around me when I work, especially the mix of music and conversation in a coffee shop. I don't think I'd enjoy the quiet car. It would just amplify any noise that did occur.
