I was thinking more of a naturally occurring place but that's pretty cool.

Hmm, I think that Guiness has not been inside of George W. Bush's head---that has GOT to be the quietest place on Earth.

The bottom of the Atlantic ocean in the crevass of the Mid-Atlantic ridge off of the lesser Antilles. (This of course is without all the gear. And of course Just a guess. Haven't been there myself. But it looks good no volcanoes.)

However, a secluded local beach (not one used by vacationers just ask a taxi driver and have a nice tip ready) in Barbados is excellent. and even though it is on the water you can't even hear the water lapping on the shore because the sand and open area just absorbs all the sound. Yes, I'm going back soon.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say that the Sahara Desert was pretty quiet.

Oceans are noisy, and so are any places with people. Mountains get really windy, grass plains and forests have loud crickets and such. The desert has mostly nocturnal animals that specialize in sneaking around. I'd imagine that there more than anywhere else you would find nice quiet peace.

You seem to be asking about overall quiet, lack of sound. That is different from relaxing or natural sounds. The main sources of sound other than humans are animals, wind, waves when they hit shore, and even tree limbs cracking. So, I expect that the quietest place on Earth, on the average, would be central Antarctica. The wildlife and waves and breaking ice are near the edge of the continent. In the deep central area there is nothing but snow and ice. Even the wind has nothing to make noise against, and snow muffles noise.

If you want quiet, try a crevasse on any glacier go down a hundred feet or so. This is a natural place on the surface of the earth that is, for all intents and purposes, absolutely silent.

According to Guinness World Records:
In a world where something is always happening, people are always moving, and equipment is always buzzing, most people don't know what silence really is. But in Minnesota, USA, real silence can be found in a room.

The anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories is the Quietest Place on Earth, as awarded by the Guinness Book of World Records.
