People don't need to enact each extreme to find a resting place. Because we have the ability to imagine, and remember and to plan, here is an idea. Think of what too much noise would be—too much talking, too much background noise, too many wind chimes, too many power tools.
What would be too much silence? No running water, no bird song, no fan, no one to ask you questions, at all.
Too much talking can be as harmful as no talking at all. Approach the balance from the quiet side.
