Yes, silence can be considered as a sound. It is the absence of noise. Yet, it has the power to create its own kind of noise in its absence, and that noise is what makes it distinct from everything else.
In order to answer this question, one must understand the fundamental concepts of sound and silence. Sounds are vibrations that travel through air or other media, such as solids or liquids. These waves travel at a defined speed and are created by molecules oscillating back and forth. In contrast, silence is the absence of sounds .If something creates no sound then it cannot be considered a sound because there is no medium used to transmit the noise.
