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

    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!

      You probably could hear your blood. I get ectopic heart beats, so my heart skips beats on occasion, and when I'm trying to get to sleep and one occurs the ever-present buzz in your ears goes silent for a fraction of a second.... It's always disconcerting because I'm paranoid my heart has stopped 😂

      I tried to mention this to someone else too who said they love silence. The thing is, when it's silent of NOISE then you're just going to hear all the sounds of your body functioning. You CAN hear the blood flowing through you, and your digestive processes and all the creaking of your joints.
      Now this room plus earplugs? Might be better? Very low noise floor and also suppression of your own noise. Except you'll still hear it through the bone vibrations.
      Either way, masking sounds with a static or predictable noise is a lot better than real silence.

      @@spikysumo dude is that what that is? Sometimes one ear will go "out" like it feels like someone turned the tone knob tone suddenly but I can still hear out of when I talk. Then over like 20-30 seconds it gradually sounds like my other ear again. It's very distinct from my usual tinnitus.

      @GaleGrim 2 роки тому +199

      I hypothesize that in the anechoic chamber they would be "blind" or very limited and blurry for echolocation uses as the noises they emit to be bounced back and then hear to use echolocation wouldn't bounce back much if at all, and for the reverberation Chamber it might act as normal or be a sort of "bright light" room where they can't "see" because it's too noisy in a similar why to us not being able to see if our environment is too bright.

I'm always in my head anyway and my mind was no longer split between trying to process everything outside my head and everything inside. The attention brought to my own body was meditative in a way I've never been able to achieve before or since.

I said yes so I went to a deep part of the cave and they turned the lights off. It was dead silent and there was no reception, but I did have a long wave radio which can penetrate the ground. I lasted over 45 minutes before my nerves got the better of me.

    I never goes inside a silent room, but I had a similar experience before and I will tell you, if you go inside a silent room, you will feel as if you're suffocating, your head felt like you wanna explode and you wanna threw up. It's not the best experience, and the best way is to stay silent. And being silent makes you be more wary of surrounding, you will have sensitive hearing and it will eventually drive you insane.

He says the sound matches the pitch of his panic, and actually puts him on the floor it's so loud. I don't know what would break someone faster, though: sensory deprivation, or sensory overload?

    What's interesting about this is it shows how little of what you hear is actually the direct sound from an object. Generally, the direct sound is what's used to localize something, but the reflections you hear from the first sound to about 80ms afterwards are what actually composes the bulk of what you perceive as the "sound" from something. From my experience, the direct sound is what's used to localize, while the indirect sound contains the actual perceived acoustic signature along with the cues as to the surrounding environment the source is in (i.e. small room, concert hall, outdoors, etc.). You can get a similar effect after it snows. Outside peoples voices sound muted compared to what you would normally hear. Of course, the above is the two extremes, where either all the sound is absorbed and there are no reflections, or allowed to reflect until its eventually attenuated by the losses in the air itself.
