A random thought the other day. A solution to the Drake equation I have rarely heard suggested:
Like flight, evolution abhors intelligence.
It's very cool, but incredibly resource intensive and beyond a certain level it's not as useful for survival.

Much like flight for birds on islands without big predators, intelligence might be selected against over time, which would explain the quiet night.
Just some nonsense speculation.
