They were all completely silent which was difficult because first of all that sense isn't engaged when it's used to being all the time, especially in a movie setting so you're distracted by the longing to hear the music that you think should be accompanying the beautiful visuals. You kind of go crazy and start to hear the score that doesnt exist. The second thing is you relay on the sound during a screening to relax completely, because any noise you make will be masked by the blaring sounds from the speakers but when there is silence any ambient noise is heard; rustling, chewing, adjusting, breathing, bowels moving....but those arent as distracting as your own attempt to be completely quiet. Silence is definitely something you have to train yourself to be in.
