A world without sound

How would the world look (or sound...haha) without sound?
In our modern society, do we actually need sound?
I mean, communication-wise, we don't really need sound.. and alright you'll get the usual arguments of 'but i'll DIE without music' and stuff, but obv thats just silly.
People type faster then they can speak (well i do at least) so we could all walk around with those tiny computers basically talking in txts and chat windows, even in real life..
There would be no sound pollution and stress would def go down.
The only sounds that should come through are alarms (like fire/ambulance/police) and the only people that might have a problem with this (although it could technically be mended) are blind and dyslexic people.

on the plus-side, it would allow the language boundaries to be broken (our own personal chat windows could include language translations so).
