The LOUDEST vs QUIETEST Room In The World

I spent hours inside an anechoic chamber to see if it would make me go crazy. You be the judge!

I wonder what happens when you leave a deaf person in this room. Do they feel the silence too?

[genboomxer]

I worked fr a company that had an anechoic chamber for testing. One of the engineers let me inside and asked if I wanted to be shut in with the lights off. He warned me that it might be a bit unsettling, so he only allowed 5 min. of total dark/quiet.
5 minutes was enough to let me know that total silence is NOT something my brain could process adequately to adjust. I swear I could hear the blood moving through my body. Swallowing, blinking, breathing, scratching an itch, all became the loudest sounds in my head. I thought I could 'feel' the silence. I guess what I felt was the absence of external pressure.
I didn't freak out, but that short time was quite enough.
Thanks for doing this!

That one Mosquito in my room when I’m trying to sleep:

That "quietest room" is probably the one place where I would actually have the courage to sing out loud, knowing that no one else would hear it-

[David-dibo]

Actually the world's quietest room was the first time I tried standup.

I’m already scared of the sound of popping balloons as it’s so loud, I can’t imagine doing that in the loudest room in the world

Imagine the loudest noise in the loudest room ☠️ ( 0:22 this shows you that it would kill you)

As someone with ADD, I wish I had access to a room like that (the anechoic chamber) for meditation.
I'd finally be able to focus on my body/breathing without getting distracted by every little noise around me

I can't be the only person thinking about how amazing it must be to have a full night's sleep in that room.

I was alone in a library at 4am once and it's the quietest place i have ever experienced. Super relaxing. Great for studying.

4:12 your voice is so clear, any voice actor would envy the lack of other sounds.

For someone who is deaf in one ear, and struggles to hear people within a close distance, i would be interested in experiencing this, just to be able to finally hear everything that i miss out on a day to day basis. Background noise makes it difficult for me to hear things properly as i go about my life.

I wish Airplanes were this quiet, instead I get a screaming baby every time

As another adult that is afraid of the dark, I can confidently tell you that its not the dark that scares you, its your imagination, not that that helps me any

[Bashos]

You know when it is quiet enough you can hear your heart breath as it beats

[TAGanimation]

I remember reading about the ”quietest room in the world” in a book many years ago. It’s a room so quiet, you can hear your own heart beat.

The mosquito in my room when I try to sleep

[rsswpsb]

No matter how quiet it is, my Tinnitus always kicks in like mini sound waves in both my ears

3:57 that random mosquito in the corner of your room be like

[midas]

The quietest room would be the perfect bathroom
