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.
Maybe we could put Hillary inside it and shut the door.
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.
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
You find the darnedest things... How much you want to bet there is still a natural detectable vibration resonance in that room.
IBM had one of these rooms to do acoustic analysis on their printers. I worked in one briefly. I could hear my own heart beat when inside. It was sort of cool.
I worked for (and retired from) an automotive company that built such a room in the 1950s. It was larger, and cost more in 2019 dollars than the Microsoft anechoic chamber. In addition, it has numerous semi-anechoic rooms large enough for testing automobiles, including dynamometers for absorbing power from all the wheels. (Semi-anechoic means that all side and up directions are anechoic, but the bottom reflects sound, just like a road.)
How about cheaper mouses that aren’t so perfectly tuned.
Perfect silence is not normal. We are used to a background noise level of about 30 dB.
"Did you hear something?"
"I heard that!"
I used to work for a company that had an anechoic chamber. I’d take people in there and turn the lights out. It’s almost total sensory deprivation. You start to lose your balance in a minute or so.
