Why doesn't the family live next to the waterfall?

Why doesn't the family live next to the waterfall? - Group of young friendly women in panties and t shirts gathering on floor in messy room and chatting while smiling and looking at each other

In such a horrible condition for living as in The Quiet Place, I'm not sure why the family didn't leave the house where they had to tip toe all the time and live under a constant fear of not making a sound and simply build a hut near the waterfall where there was constant noise covering their sounds.

Or they could replicate the noise of the waterfall by having some loud speakers around the house constantly giving out a white noise.

It's a fair point, but I have to ask: Did you see any vacant houses there? I didn't, and I certainly wouldn't go about the noisy task of building a structure from scratch. Transporting materials would be a nightmare.

Moreover Evelyn was pregnant, you cannot live in a hut with a pregnant woman, a physically disabled child and a kid who is a shivering wreck.

They can't possibly afford to constantly run speakers because it would consume lot of electricity.We still aren't sure of the source of Electricity(There are a lot of theories like solar energy & batteries)

An easily missed detail from A Quiet Place notes that all of these creatures interact with the electromagnetic spectrum, causing lights to flicker and triggering large-scale power outages. \u201cThere's some sort of electromagnetic interference between anything electronic and these creatures,\u201d Aadahl said.

Can they whisper in A Quiet Place?

Because the dialogue is mostly whispered, even low murmurs among audience members sitting next to each other can be enough to distract from what's happening.

Answer 2

Even if the family could build reasonable living quarters near the waterfall, and could obtain enough food there, there's another problem.

On the farm, normality means being as quiet as possible. Being at the waterfall is a rare exception to that, where they can make as much noise as they like.

If they lived near the waterfall, normality would mean making as much noise as they like, and venturing outside the waterfall zone would require silence.

How much success would they have in impressing upon the children the need for silence if their normal home life allowed any amount of noise? The parents are in it for the long haul; they're trying to raise a family and survive long-term, not just hold out for some vague rescue in the future. So constant silence is something their kids need to learn, and something they wouldn't learn living by the waterfall.
