What Causes the ‘Silence’ of a Desert at Dawn?

At dawn, deserts feel quiet because there’s less noise. During the day, animals and wind make a lot of sound. But when it gets dark, most creatures go to sleep, and the wind slows down. That means fewer sounds, and that makes the desert feel very still and silent.
