“Young Goodman Brown” By Nathaniel Hawthorne page 69
“The next moment, so indistinct were the sounds, he doubted whether he had heard aught but the murmur of the old forest, whispering without a wind.”
What is said her is that the character in this story hears something that he cannot decipher wither he had heard the sound at all or if it was the forest playing with him. This is significant to the story in the forest in the story is considered to be a living creature that has demonic nature. And thus by playing with his hearing it will evade one of his five scenes causing him to lose his focuses. Consequently by losing his focus he will be easily manipulated. In the real world you experience something like this when you are out in the wilderness and an animal is moving and one might mistake it for supernatural beings.
