Silence is the absence of sound, technically not a definition because most ontologies do not allow for the inclusion of 'things that aren't'. A confusing answer. I don't know if you can ever truly hear silence. The closest you can get is to remove the world- all outside sounds - and you're left with just you, and you would be able to hear your blood pumping - you may not recognize it, but you would technically be able to hear it.

The sound of silence refers to the state of mind a person is in when they meditate and are focused enough that they do not (hear) any outside noises, nor do they have any inner noise.

no one on the beach and the oceans ebb and flow that is silence to me and part of Heaven.

It is a Simon and Garfunkle song.
