More importantly, as others have already mentioned, sound can affect you in many ways. Natural sounds like water running and birds tweeting are far more soothing than sounds of "industry." Not to say that all mechanical sounds are the sounds of war, but there's far more "pressure" for your brain to process in general which puts you in a more anxious state. I live on a busy road and hearing the sounds of trucks and modded cars that "pop" has given me a form of PTSD, I swear. You want silence if you want a sober mind, but I think nature nosies don't take away from it the same way people and their contraptions do.
