<P> Production took place from May to November 2017 in Dutchess and Ulster counties in upstate New York . Filmmakers spent their budget locally, including a purchase of 20 tons of corn, which they hired local farmers to grow . Some filming took place on a soundstage in the town of Pawling in Dutchess County, as well as on - location in the county's city of Beacon . Filming also took place on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in New Paltz of Ulster County, using the Springtown Truss Bridge . Outside Dutchess and Ulster counties, filming took place on Main Street in Little Falls in Herkimer County, New York . </P> <P> During filming, the crew avoided making noise so diegetic synchronized sounds (e.g., the sound of rolling dice on a game board) could be recorded; the sounds were amplified in post-production . A traditional musical score was also added, which Krasinski justified in wanting audiences to remain familiar with watching a mainstream film, and not feel like part of a "silence experiment ." </P> <P> Supervising sound editors Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn worked on A Quiet Place . For scenes from the perspective of the deaf daughter, sound was removed to put greater focus on the visual . They also advised on organizing shots to reflect the creatures' perspective, like showing them notice a sound, then showing what was causing the sound . Composer Marco Beltrami provided the sound editors music to work with in a way that would not interfere with the sound design throughout the film . </P> <P> In the film, creatures are blind and communicate through clicking sounds . Aadahl and Van der Ryn said they were inspired by animal echolocation, such as that employed by bats . The sound of feedback, normally avoided by sound editors, was woven into the story at a loudness level that would not bother audiences too much . </P>
