| 520 | _a"The Rumble and the Roar" by Stephen Bartholomew is a science fiction short story written in the mid-20th century. The narrative revolves around the pervasive noise pollution in a technologically advanced civilization and the protagonist's struggle with his mental state amidst this din. The story explores themes of solitude, sanity, and the effects of excessive noise on human psychology. The plot follows Joseph Partch, who is feeling increasingly overwhelmed and irritated by the relentless noise produced by his environment, from office machinery to city sounds. Despite his work related to developing a sound-canceling device, he finds himself detached and yearning for quiet. His situation escalates when he decides to try the device himself, leading to a shocking experience of total silence that ultimately drives him into a catatonic state. Through this exploration, Bartholomew raises questions about the psychological toll of modern life and what it truly means to be alone in a world deafened by noise.
