The different sounds of "silence" are the same as the different flavors of "water."
You're not hearing the silence, you're still hearing the absence of it caused by different things making little noises. (Or in some cases hallucinating)
You're not tasting the water but the non-water that's in the water.
This is very very true. I have a decent water filtration system at home. I use a stainless steel water container both when I'm home and when I leave. Always highly filtered water. I've gotten so used to the fairly pure water from my filtration system that tap water, doesn't taste right anymore. If someone gives me tap water or something, it kind of shocks me how badly it tastes.
My water filtration stuff isn't the best, so I'm sure my water is filthy compared to some of the stuff you can get, but it's clean enough that I notice when there's a significant drop in quality and purity now.
I once asked how to make the purest water and just have 100% pure H2O to drink and know what water itself finally tastes like, and was told even if you could do it, drinking it would probably be lethal as it just rips molecules apart binding with everything.
I'm guessing that distilled water is about as close as you can get safely
