With my massive tinnitus symptoms, I wonder if I could break that record. Does bringing your own noise count?
There are more than a few anechoic chambers around the world that cost a tad more than $1.5M.
Didn’t they have a “cone of silence” on the old Get Smart TV show? Except that when Maxwell Smart and his boss went under it to talk, they ended up shouting at each other because they couldn’t hear what the other was saying.
next to the box they put you in to check your hearing, the quietest place I’ve been is in a cave.
Maybe we could put Hillary inside it and shut the door.
Some government contractors I know could design such a chamber for only $150 mill (plus an occasional cost overrun).
I wonder if there are any that dampen more than 120 Db?

If we were in that room, YOU could hear MY tinnitus!
When I moved to my house in suburbia, at first, it was too quiet and I had trouble falling asleep. Nowadays, thanks to the wonders of Bluetooth speakers, I can fall asleep to the pleasant sounds of a (mild) thunderstorm, and it shuts itself off when it’s done. Huzzah.
Lol...I was wondering the exact same thing. I never have a moments silence.
My ears ring louder as ambient noise increases.
Also the tinnitus could be very light but if I fall asleep on the couch when I wake up its crazy loud.
I’d like to try out one of these rooms, I doubt it could drive me out in 45mins like they say.
I lean towards youtube vids of Bible tidbits recited in a calm voice, and the vids of 2016 election night coverage.
They should hear my classroom.
Sensory deprivation causes inefficiency of and loss of control of one's consciousness.
Leftardism causes conceptual deprivation which causes concrete bound mentality which causes lethargy, or hysterical hatred and anger, or irrational fantasies.
Leftardism also causes cultural value deprivation which causes the feeling that life is meaningless and actions are not worth doing, which causes loss of motivation. Loss of motivation to act causes leftard dependency and parasitism.
All the better to blue screen, my dear
Oh my, this room would be pure bliss to sleep in. I happen to live in a noisy area with thin walls, currently use ear plugs and a fan but I really do miss silence alongside my choice of TV or music to doze off to.
I know what you mean.
I work shift work so I have to sleep with a fan on to drown out the sounds of life when I have to sleep in the daytime.
One winter the power was off at bed time so I had no fan when I was trying to go to sleep.
I too lived in the burbs and lived alone so there was absolutely no noise.
I started hearing a swishing sound and couldn’t figure out what it was. Eventually I figured out I was hearing my own blood flow in my head.
Fortunately the power came back on and my fan started.
You find the darnedest things... How much you want to bet there is still a natural detectable vibration resonance in that room.
