in the car

It’s almost silent in the car with the windows up and the radio off. The fan is blowing, but its on low, whispering from the vents on the dashboard. There is activity on the other side of the windows, but from inside it’s like the whole world is on mute. The normal humming of the engine is amplified slightly due to lack of other noises in the cabin; it speaks up for just a second as it shifts into second gear at ten miles per hour. Then, continues humming.
