"Silent discos are so much fun."

There's a new disco in town—well, it's relatively new—and it's making soundwaves with the town's people. 

Everyone wants to be the talk of the town when throwing a party, whether a wedding party or a birthday party, the most memorable parties have the best sound at their epicentre. 

Once, the best parties were remembered for their epic playlists, the food, and the fact that the police had to shut things down because of the noise levels. Those stories are now safely archived and won't necessarily be part of the current generation's life experiences. 

The era of silent events has replaced loud and epic parties with something more serene and bespoke. Have you ever been to a party that was too loud? While most people might say no, some prefer a mellow sound volume.

Silent events, from discos to beach parties, yoga sessions, and weddings, have taken over the social scene. One might wonder what is so appealing about having a silent party. Well, according to the Silent Events website, there are many benefits. 

For one, silent parties help tackle noise pollution by having the attendees wear special headphones. 

With the headphones, everyone at the party can listen to the music they enjoy. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach to partying. For wedding parties, you can have your wedding wherever you want because you won't be disturbing anyone with the noise levels. Everyone can bond by dancing to their favourite tunes at the same place.

All we can say is don't diss it till you try it. It seems to be something people are migrating towards.
