Since I was just the narrator here, I'm going to take this opportunity to mention my thoughts. Kleinbl00 was not the only one to mention that silence is essentially unattainable on a daily basis and even if it were attainable, it would be unpleasant. What we aspire to is not silence but rather "quiet" or "peacefulness" and these things are subjective. For me, it is the 10 minutes after a long run. While running I can get to a really great place but it isn't nearly as peaceful as the walk just after the run. I'm able to dial in to the present moment and really be "at one" with my surroundings. I also find peace while recording/playing music and even these podcasts. They're both similarly zen-like for me.
