It’s never totally quiet anywhere and it has never been. As long as you try to listen you listen; if you ask – how quiet it is now right here? – then you are sure to listen. You will always hear something or the other: voices form distant past, whispers of someone unseen by your side, wandering echoes, words of sadness unspoken, desires unexpressed, or buzz of thoughts. There are many things that could speak out to us but we hardly listen; we are in fact ‘hard of hearing’, as we hear only things that manage to drum themselves into our ears. But if we try to listen that way a candle manages to see things in its own illumination, we might hear a great deal better. In pace you could hear, for instance, the rhythms of your own breathing, the music of your heartbeat, whiz of you blood round the body, and further along, the hum of life that you are immersed in - quite and gentle living.

Pretty noisy, assuming you would be on a spaceship. Space is a vacuum, so it would completely silent outside the spaceship... but I am reasonably sure you would not want to leave the ship and go for a leisurely stroll through space.
Why? Are your kids screaming in the background? Did the gardeners wake you up at 6 in the morning? Are you fantasizing about having ten minutes of quiet time?

In space "quiet" doesn't exist - it is a vast vacuum and there is no sound at all - without noise you'll experience no quiet.

in the space of my closet it has been very noisy at times. and it is very hard to study in the empty space in a busy parking lot. but if you are speaking of outer space, it would depend on what you consider noise to be. our body transmits information to other parts of our body using other forms to do so than verbally speaking, yet it it noise none the less. things in outer space communicate with each other and us, though it may not be noise as you see it, but it is very active and not considered to be quiet............by the way, does not a vacuume take in its surroundings when it is in operation. and when taking in we must eventually unload our cargo.

It's not quiet at all. It's very noisy. Scientist have been able to measure and study this noise. It's just that there's no air for the noise to be carried to the human ear.

Pretty quiet during the week.
But it livens up a bit on Friday and Saturday Nights.

Well my Totti, it is TOTALLY Quite. You see sound needs a MEDIUM to travel Through. On earth it is AIR. Since no air, then no noise. Can u imagine TOTAL and UTTER SILENCE? As the film ALIEN,s publicity said: "NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM IN SPACE".Be a great place to set up a library though!hahaha.Cheers lol!!

VERY since space is a vacuum and sound does not travel through vacuum

There is plenty of noise, but in order for the human ear to "hear" noise there must be air for sound waves to move through. Without air there cannot be sound, thearfore, to a human, it is deathly silent.

Stanley Kubrick demonstrated just that, to great effect, in the airlock scene in 2001....as I recall.
