It also varies. I live in a small village, and it's usually quite quiet, minus when a train goes past (railway is about half a mile away) or the bus goes past (bus route about 30 metres away). But on the very rare occasions when we get a decent covering of snow, then it gets really quiet - not just because the road is unused and the animals are hunkering down, but also because snow absorbs sound really well.
