Well yeah, urban living is horrible. But most "urbanites" who are affluent enough to consider going out to the woods often enough to make a judgement call of it being too quiet, have probably been to the suburbs where it is even quieter.

If I turn off my fan in my little suburban/semirural house here, it is SILENT. The trees are all carefully trimmed to not rustle much, for what little wind is possible thanks to the mass sprawl. No animal calls, not even many bugs to chirp. No cars this late. And no drunken people stumbling about screaming at midnight, either. No wildlife noises, no nature noises, no environmental noises, and no people noises. Those guys in action movies who go "it's quiet, too quiet." would be driven nuts.
