If you're referring to 'The Sound of Silence', that was written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel, not The Beatles.
I think its Simon and garfunkel 'the sound of silence' but i could be wrong.
Simon and Garfunkel certainly have their own unique sound. Many folk bands of the same era, like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, or solo artists like Cat Stevens, have a similar sound.
"The Sound of Silence" is a song by Simon Garfunkel that reflects the feelings of isolation and disconnect in modern society. It was inspired by the assassination of President Kennedy and the turbulent times of the 1960s. The lyrics convey a sense of loneliness and the struggle to communicate in a world filled with noise and chaos.
Cancer cells replicate/grow very rapidly. The simile "Silence like a cancer grows" from the Simon and Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence is used to indicate a rapidly growing silence, and also gives a visual image of a swelling and malignant or harmful silence. (A simile such as " silence like a balloon grows" would have a positive imagery.)

Well, this is certainly not an exhaustive analysis, but the the phrase, "sounds of silence" arguably are oxymoronic because silence is without sound.
Simon and Garfunkel, pretty much "Scarborough Fair" over and over and over.
The question as originally phrased did not specify which Simon and Garfunkel song was being asked about. However, an educated guess is that the questioner was asking about The Sound of Silence since it was one of the duo's biggest hits (it got them signed to a record contract) and was first released in 1964 - although it was written by Paul Simon in about 1963 and they were performing it prior to being signed to their record contract. Although there is folklore that suggests it was inspired by the Kennedy assassination, it clearly was not related since it was written and performed before that event took place. Art Garfunkel has been quoted as saying that the song is about "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
