Looks like a wonderful place.
Mary Spender I would like to put an isolation tank in a room like that.
I live in a noisy apartment block. That room is the stuff of dreams!
This is so cool
Are you a guitarist ? I mean, do you have any band ?
No the quietest place in the world is when it’s just me and my dad in the car
Astro Nut lol
fuck yeah
Yeah, true
Lol legit what I’m doing now
*because he went to get some milk* (and never came back)
quiestest room on earth
talks continuously through the silence
A black screen without sound seems entertaining to u?
@@noordholland648 how about a couple seconds of silence fucking moron?
Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill NJ had a very similar room back in 1983 that I visited. It was called the "Dead Room".
@@chazsmith20 You alright? Bad day?
SHH! THIS IS LIBRARY!
"This room is completely soundproof."
My mom yelling in the other room: *You underestimate my power*
Haha! Have you seen the Kim Possible episode where the husband is showing his home theater to a guy and he's "This room is very quiet" and then his wife yells from far away. Lol ima have to look that up
@@arande3 hahaha😂😂 I remember that episode
Hahaha!
That was hilarious, I laughed for hours😐😐😐😐
i believe i would start losing my mind in there thinking my mom is calling me and she ain’t even there
they don't shut up long enough to enjoy the silence.
I was waiting for that silent moment but then the video ended already 🤣
Get this, if you turn your volume to zero - it would be exactly the same experience
@@TheSUPERPOTATO2000 i want to die
They did show us the highlights, you don't know that they didn't enjoy it.. Anyways you are not going to experience that through your phone so what's the point.
Depeche Mode wrote a song about that.
Me: Goes in worlds quietest room
My ear: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
😂😂😂😂😂
😂for me it's "keeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, keeeeeeauuuuauuuauuiikkeeeeeee "
Same I'm not sure why it happens tho I'm like minding my own business then I hear like a big *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEAEEEEEII* as if I got concussed
@@fbi7997 tinnitus I have it too
That is real
Everything they say sounds like they are baked as hell... "I feel the air around my head"
*nervous laughter *
One of the hallmarks of being baked is a shift in perception.
In the case of being baked, you are processing and analyzing data differently.
In this case the source input has changed to something not experienced usually.
All in all, it is quite understandable why they seem to be "trippy"
Bryan Raets lmao
or tripping balls

Hadn't thought of being stoned like that before now.
Your spot on there, I apparently play like completely different people whether I'm stoned or not... According to my online mates
One thing I will say, is the audio sounds really clear.
Yeah it is even despite the fact there's a constant feedback due to the shit mic
It would be the perfect room for recording music
@@tima.r8925 what do you think a soundproof studio is
I wonder why
@FurNaxxYT I don't think Schiit makes microphones
Imagine: being in the quietest room on earth - and people don't shut up once.
so annoying haha
...
what
Yeah i want them to just like stop talking to show us how quite it is
Spoiler: You wouldn’t get the effect because you’re not in the room yourself.
I've read on an ask reddit, from people who have briefly died what it was like, and I remember someone saying that it was the quietest experience they've ever had. They said that after they came back, they were conscious of a persistent noise that they never noticed before. They speculated that it was "the sound of life" and that they were only now just aware of it, having experienced its absence.
I wonder if you could hear it, if actively listening for it in one of their chambers.
I could hear the blood in my neck arteries and my breathing and (like Andrew) intestinal activity. Now I'd probably be hearing my high frequency tinnitus more than anything.
omg it might be so crazy listening to actually nothing. You can't even prevent your own body from making sound so you're always hearing something, but I can't even imagine how it'd be to listen to nothing for a moment. Sounds like a real life changer.
I experimented something similar one night in my bed when in the deepest transe-state (no drugs involved here) after a few hours of "relaxing/putting_to_sleep" my body while remaining conscious of the process. You then enter the "deep sleep" state consciously (theta-waves from memory);
what you notice right away is your brain switching off the "high frequency sound" that you can hear in a silence (if you can find it, because the brain removes it in real-time from your mind; it is hard to spot it the very first time you try!)... some says it is the residual electricity of the brain working (the unconscious) and i must say it is quite probable... because i could not create/speak a single thought in my head in that state! It was like being "brain-dead" but conscious at the same time! weird but fun!
I also remember vividly the instant realisation (no need thoughts for that! i learn that too!) of "Hooo! (O_o), i have attained true silence like never in my life before!". And it was soooo peaceful! (If i could easily, i would tried that again just for that feeling!)
It is like comparing a normal night outside, with a "silent night" when nothing moves at all (in a year, in winter for example, there are some!), and all you can hear is "the strange/overwhelming silence". It feels like that between the most silent moment you think you have experienced before... and "true silence" when your brain switches off (most of its general functions) in "deep sleep" state.
Even in a chamber like this, or in the middle of nowhere (nature is noisy, but at the lowest levels sometimes)... you always have this very faint sound "in your head" that you can't stop... until you could! lol (try meditation/transe states for 10 years lol)
I've overdosed a few times and every time it felt like being under anesthesia where you lose the concept of time and space and just become a blob of nothing. It's more the end of the experience than the experience itself
I can hear that constant super quiet high pitched hum that sounds like it coming from my ears and it’s kind of a trip to be able to hear it.
Deaf people be like "LMAO NOOBS"
So true
They probably actually can hear what’s inside them tho. We hear ourselves chew and swallow but can you fathom if you’re hearing it thru your ears it not? Sounds fried but think about it
This was such a fun day Mary, thanks for making it happen!
make a song out of your stomach gurgles
Andrew, now you need to record an episode in a cavern.
I'm thumb 200 lol
only 10 minutes ?! you are supposed to be in that room totally alone for half an hour!

Actually the quietest room is when youre having dinner with your girlfriends family and she says “daddy can you pass the salt?” and her dad, you and her brother all reach for it at the same time
Peter B brooooo 😂😂😂😂
All eyes on the brother and then the sister/gf.
HOLUP.
You have dinner in Alabama?
I um-*cough*
My tinnitus would not make this a pleasant experience..

NB The what, now?
I was just wondering how tinnitus would do in a room like that. It might be quiet, but I always have something to listen to in my head.

Back in the early 80's I worked at Ford Areospace. And they had a very large one of these rooms. Big enough to put a satilite in. They used it to simulate sound in outer space.
I got to go into it once and had the door shut. It was almost scarry. I was talking to someone only 6 feet but it felt like their were miles away. A once in a lifetime very cool incedent.
Man you're old
@@kakarot847 lol that’s the only thing you can say?
@@kakarot847 You will be amazed at how quickly it happens to you ...
Must have been amazing. I love really quiet places. The modern world has so much NOISE.
Y’all should try going in alone, no lights, only speaking for one minute of every five. That’s what callux did for over an hour and he definitely didn’t have the easiest time
Those who don't meditate often will find it difficult. (but it is a problem of the modern-noisy "in the head" man only)
Some tibetan monks surely know ancient caves like this (natural) to "deepen" their interior silence. ;-)
The quietest room on earth is any room with people in it after I tell a joke

Lol I just laughed you're funny though😂🤣🤣
You were right

Nah you can hear the crickets
2:19 - The inverse square law says that as you double the distance, the intensity of sound in quartered (not halved, hence the square part)
Right; same with light. And he's an audio expert?
cathoderaytube2 the person who explained the inverse square law was Andrew Huang, one of Mary’s friends, not one of the Shure employees. He’s a songwriter & producer and actually is a pretty knowledgeable guy, but seems he got this one wrong.
@@russell_szabados totally. His point made sense regardless of the exact math
@@russell_szabados Thanks; I'm surprised they didn't drop that bad bit onto the cutting room floor; SUREly someone at SHURE should have spoken up and re-explained it on the spot, or noticed in the video later.
Double the distance, loss of 6 db, which would be 1/4 the power.
Anybody else thinking of the nap then could take?? 😅🙃
Would be amazing
I MEAN, RIGHT????
I probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep at all due to my tinnitus. It would very likely drive me insane after a few hours.
CMDR Cana Fett is that where u can hear your pulse in your ears?? It’s like a swooshing or beating sound?? I think I’ve had that in my right ear before
Moraya Walls no it’s just a ringing
The closest thing I've experienced to an anechoic chamber was the filing room of an optometrist office I used to work at. It was this long, narrow corridor with only one way in, and thousands upon thousands of paper files tightly packed from floor to ceiling. It was really weird when you'd go deep into it and all sound would just become dead. If you were way deep into it and someone was near the entrance, they'd have to almost shout just so you could hear them and even then their voices sounded quiet and like they were talking through a slightly resonant bandpass filter. Andrew describing the sensation of "feeling the air"- like the denseness of the silence really brought me back to it.
I would often go into that room just to decompress.
How wonderful. I love silence so much. Decompress for sure. Have thought to dig and underground room under my house to have a quiet room.
Funfact: The room was a answer in a quizshow today in germany. No one could believe that a room can have a minus DB 😁👍 Thanks for showing. Very interesting!

This is not funny
I have spent a lot of time in anacoustic chambers, mainly for testing diesel engines in, and can confirm just how weird they are to be in. In absolute silence you become vary aware of just how much noise our bodies make; to start with you can hear your breathing, then you'll hold your breath to prevent that noise, that is when you become aware of your heartbeat making a thudding noise in your chest and a pulsating noise in your ears, and your guts are quite noisy too. A fart void of reverb is a very strange sound indeed.
the microphone audio is so strange; it sounds like everyone is either wearing lavalier mics or is being boom mic'd. I don't think i've ever heard audio from a microphone be so... clean? like literally the only things the mic is picking up is the direct noise coming from people speaking and their clothes with no reverb incidence reflection.. nothing. it's such a strange experience just listening to it.
The recording is not doing any justice it just feels so freaky - we had a big semi anechoic chamber at work (testing fluids equipment) and working in side there just felt so strange
I actually want to sit in silence like that.
It’s super uncomfortable
I would love to ✌️
get some foam in-ear hearing defenders and a pair of standard over-ear defenders. Together they'll get you 99% of the way there.
It´s not comfortable. You think you want it, but no, you don´t. What you want is silence, not this oppressive, thick, stuffed, wrong, trippy, nauseous THING that complete stillness is. I once had to perform an experiment in a silent chamber, and it was so exhausting
No you dont it is terrifying

I went in one of these as a kid at the Department of Science and Industrial Research, a New Zealand government department, about 40 years. I remember it being dead flat of course, but the strangest part was when you walked out and the 'normal' room sounded like the craziest echo chamber.
The also had 4-axis CNC mills waaaay before they were a thing...

I heard a story about a violinist that spent like 5 minutes in one of those chambers and was pounding on the door wall to get out, she was hysterical, and it was basically hell for her.
Can you know music, if you don't know silence?!
Do you mean Vanya Hargreeves?
2:25 You mean it'll be one fourth the volume after double the distance. You have to also square the multiplier of distance.
lol
Beep boop
@Bill It's hardly moronic to not know that. You had to learn that info at one point in time, you didn't just know it.
It is a quarter..
I was about to say this. What he described was just an inverse relationship.
5:43 It’s so funny to watch them awkwardly look around as he explains stuff because there’s nothing to do nor hear 😂
I am also a drummer, so the ringing would increase greatly being in this room. I really prefer external noise to help with that constant ringing.
@Joe Farrell it’s horrible. Like the OP said, the external noises are necessary. If they played this in my ear as a warning to the damage it could cause I would’ve stopped 😭
I'm happy to say I once smoked a joint in the anechoic chamber at the Acoustics Department at Salford University. It was a blast. If Professor Stuckes is reading this, all I can say is; it's too late to throw me out now.......
That would be very nice! well done matey.

@@howdj Sad. What's your problem?

@@iain2080 Exactly. Using earplugs is a must during metal shows as a musician.
We had a large one of these at Boeing, Andrew described it perfectly. It FELLS different than anything else. Our's had no noise and also no artificial energy wave disruption. So no radio waves, wifi, nothing. Everything was blocked out. I always wanted to play guitar in that space.
So cool you got to do this!!

I've experienced something similar years ago. I was visiting a supplier of cardboard boxes. When I went into their warehouse I saw rows upon rows of collapsed shipping boxes on pallets stacked on racks. When I went into the alleyway between two rows of cardboard I was facing the cut edges of the cardboard stacked almost to the ceiling. If you ever looked at a shipping box, you'll notice it is a sandwich of undulating paper in between two flat sheets of paper. Looking at it edge on it looks like a sine wave between two lines. These edges piled to the ceiling and on both sides of you act exactly the same way the anechoic chamber does. It feels beyond creepy.
I was in the very 1st one ever built at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J. back in the 1960's. It's nickname was "The Dead Room". My Dad worked at the Labs for 20 years and took me there. It was awesome.
I worked in that building and have been in the anechoic chamber many times. It wasn’t booked very often (usually school field trips), and at any other time you could pretty much just go in. One of the times I was in there the longest, I really wanted to just take a nap! :)
It may be just in my head, but I feel something when i watch footage in that room. It's almost like the feeling comes through the screen.
Yo same lmao my ears started to feel weird 😂
Derek Miller from Veritasium did spend over an hour in an anechoic chamber, by himself. He does have a video on it. He had to let himself out because frankly he was bored and could have comfortably stayed in the room longer if he had really wanted. The pressure you sense in one is from the lack of the constant background noise most of us experience everyday. Only when it is taken away do you realize how much of the sound we normally hear is a product of our environment as much as the source of the sound itself.
Inverse square law: the sound will have a *quarter* as much power when you double the distance. Our ears react logarithmically, so this is about 10*log10(4) = 6dB.
9:19 OMG!! The way the door 🚪 PERFECTLY fits into the wall when it swings open is one of the most satisfying things I have ever seen
i kno exactly what u mean ocdthangang
Congrats on one million views, the video is great!

Tyler1:Im about to end this whole rooms career
As she shut the door and the room went black a label came up that said “Blood and Violence”. Turned out to be a video game ad but the timing was amazing.
Now its fades to a mother day commercial from Kay's.... I guess its a seasonal thing
The store where I use to teach had an amazing drum room which was so well insulated acoustically that you could clap your hands in the studio and it sounded great, then you'd go to the drum room and clap your hands and you'd get that "dead" effect where all you hear is the direct sound from your hands. And you also got that weird sense of pressure on your ears which comes from having no reflected sound. So in a small way, I've experienced this and yes, it's really strange.
But drums recorded in that room sounded great. You got a pure drum sound on the track and they'd add room sound with plugins in the DAW.
I know exactly what you mean. I used to build radio station broadcasting and recording studios and sound-proof rooms. Just as you’d get the last of the soundproofing finished, it was hell being inside the room. You got that pressure feeling and some guys even got nauseous from it. We messed with one of the new guys one time. We said, “Hey, we left something out in the design of this room. Go in there and see if you can find it?” We were watching him through the sound-proof window as he was looking around for something missing. At first he was ok, but about a minute into his search for nothing, he started trying to pop his ears. He was trying to yawn and was shaking his head. He looked like a lunatic! We were laughing our asses off. When he came out of the studio he just said, “I didn’t see anything missing but there is something terribly wrong with that room. I don’t know what it is, but I felt kinda sick in there.” We told him it was soundproof and that’s what we left out. Sound. But we built 12 more rooms like that and most of us wore Walkmans with headphones to keep from going nuts doing the finish work. Fun times.
as someone who is hypersensitive to sound, this is the only video I've ever listened to on HD25s without any stress. I can just listen, it's oddly. Um. hypnotising. I need this effect for intense classroom learning. Acoustic isolation. I really like it lol.
I really want one. A chill room. Therapy room. Turn off all external stimulae, what's left? Ooh let's look at that. hyperfocus positive trigger :) ...but now the talking is too slow lol
wait so not everyone hears constant ringing in their ears when its silent
That’s called tinnitus
Everybody gets a little ringing in their ears after a good while in silence but if it starts right away and is quite loud then you might have tinnitus.
No. I didn't always have it, but ever since about 15 its nonstop if a room is quiet.
I do! It's the hearing damage
A Marshall amp did that to my ears. Now I hear Marshall feedback 24-7
First I thought it works so good that I don´t hear anything. After a while I realised my headphones weren´t plugged in...
Hahahaha
What about the speaker? was it not plugged in too? Such a liar.
Ankit Wow. It’s not like it’s possible that the device itself (without the headphones plugged in) was muted. Or that the OP might be on a computer that does not actually have speakers. No way that that’d ever be possible
@@trules777 Chill man. The way that the line "such a liar" sounds, I was obviously kidding.
@@Ankit-zu2kp it doesn't "sound" because we're on the Internet. I can say that you're an idiot and you wouldn't know if I'm being serious or sarcastic because you can't hear the tone I'm saying it in.

While working as a telecom tech I came across one of these rooms in a very strange location off of a parking garage at Microsoft. Some of the nicest people I meet at MS. They showed me around and told me a little bit about their work. So cool.
I've been inside one of these chambers and you guys have done an excellent job explaining what it's like. Usually sound has no direction but inside one of these chambers you can tell exactly where the sound is coming from.
You probably get this all the time Mary but you are one beautiful human being on many levels.
2:20 andrew!!! lowdness is 1/4 when you double the distance!!
that's why they call it inverse *square* law!
This mistake annoyed me more than it should have.
Right, I was instantly like, wait that's not why my lighting studies taught me. I better to go Wikipedia.
Cool, you mean Loudness though right?
In numbers, you lose 6dB when you double the distance and you have this when you're outside on a field.
My dad used to work for Audio Technica, they have a very similar chamber. I was able to go in as a kid, it is very strange to say the least. With the door closed, sound just disappears so fast, pretty wild.

an anechoic chamber.
Love learning new words. Going to try and use this today and I’m betting somebody will think I just sneezed and will give me a “god bless you.”
Thru a strange fluke, I had full access to my university's underground anechoic chamber. Spent many hours there doing homework w/o background noise or interruption. Loved it!
Thank you Rob for your descriptions of each scenario. This helped put things into perspective for us viewers considering it was hard to understand your experience through video. I've experienced a very treated recording booth, so I can imagine a "dead silent" chamber.
am i the only one with an eager to climb those walls lol
I want to explore the holes of the room.
🤔 Looks like a V1 boulder problem 💪
I wanted to punch them is that normal
Great idea for a video! I worked in Anechoic chambers for many years doing radio frequency work. The dB scale is exponential, not linear, so -5 db is twice as quiet as -4 dB.
-5 dB is twice as quiet as 5 dB*.
The one that apparently drives people crazy is out in Minnesota, it's clocked at 9.4db almost twice the level of the one that Shure uses. It's supposed to be so silent you can hear the blood flow around your ears. Not sure if that's %100 true but it's pretty trippy.
The Shure chamber is rated for -5 dB A-weighted. That A-weighting is a curve based on the Munson Fletcher research of human hearing, and actually compensates for our hearing's decreasing sensitivity at lower (and higher) frequencies... so you can't compare it to the UNweighted -9.4 dB Sound Pressure Level of the Orfield Labs chamber in Minnesota. Yup, it's not Plus 9.4, but Minus 9.4. A guestimate of the unweighted SPL of the Shure chamber: probably around 5~8 dB.
I built and ran an anechoic chamber for over 10 years. We used it for electromagnetic testing of antennas, but my wife (a classical musician) reacted in a similar way.
very cool - imagine it is like the sound muffling of walking in heavy snow storm, just mores (and warmer...)
The sound meter shows 7dB in my bedroom right now. This is the reason why I can almost clearly hear my neighbours. I can even hear my heartbeat in a lying down position.
It might just be my head playing with me, but it’s almost like you can *hear* the silence just as you can hear their voices
I've been in an anechoic chamber like that, at a phone carrier I worked for back in the day. Looked just like the one in the video, including being suspended on a mesh floor in the exact middle of the room. They used to use it for developing and testing microphones for fixed line analogue telephone handsets.
A very weird experience. After a while in there, you can actually hear your own blood rushing through the veins in your head around the ears.
Inverse Square Law description is incorrect - "the sound is halved when the distance is doubled". Nope. The sound is reduced to 25% when the distance is doubled - the reduction is squared, not linear. Go 8m away, the sound drops by a factor of 1/64, not 1/8. Squared. Hence the name.
Also recall and remember well the times being in a room like this one.
As, all three were describing the sensations, it is accurate.
The room i was in, is much smaller. Also used for specific sound testing. The room is within an engineering R&D facility for COMSAT Laboratories in Clarksville, Md. Was working there as a Coop Engineer while a student at University of Maryland from summer 1978-1981, in the baseband laboratory, thus developing of audio frequency equipment for satellite communications systems which also required testing of audio equipment including subjective tests needing such a quiet room.
Quite a valuable learning experience.
Sincerely,
P.S. every reputable company which develops audio equipment would need such a room for testing too. As stated, these have existed for many decades.

Dang, I thought it was Peter, Paul & Mary......wished I had a hammer.....
I was taken down a Welsh Drift Mine, in The Vale of Glamorgan. On a Sunday with the Safety Officer after a sort train ride, we walked to the workface, which was 3 ft high. On the return we stoped, and switch our helmet lights OFF, the blackness hits you right between the eyes, and the silence, was really scary, and the only way you knew down was down, is because you were standing on the floor, to take even one step was hard. Boy when I got back to my Auntie house, I was covered in coal dust.Never been so Black. All ways had a GREAT respect for ALL Miners After That.
I was in one at the Naval Post-graduate school in Monterey. It was a wonderful experience. You could completely block high frequencies with your hand.
Aww man, always wanted to visit one of those chambers. It's like the exact inverse of either the Mapparium at the Eddy library in Boston or standing between the twin parabolic "whisper dishes" at the VLA in Socorro, New Mexico where even the smallest whisper is heard by someone standing 50 feet away.
I actually live fairly close (within 100 miles) of the VLA, and have been there at the control station/museum several times, in addition to driving past it hundreds of times on my way to Socorro on Rt. 60. It's a tech nerds dream!😁
I’ve been in lots of those and the one at Edwards Air Force base is larger than a football field.
I met Gary Sinese there and told him I got shot in the buttocks.
Good times.
when i was studiying audio engineering we visited the IRCAM's one, the weirdest it got is when the teacher that took our group there told us to shut up and focus on our hearts. You start to hear your blood flowing inside you, first through your ears then your throat etc... I think this is the part that would turn you crazy, the more quiet you stay there the more your brain notices sounds that you aren't suppose to hear from yourself.
Hope you'll bring more tech inside videos like this, keep up the gud work. cheers
Best acoustic treatment for a room ever!!
probably the cleanest recording any of you ever made in terms of background noise.

Huh.. I wonder if it's the same for you to hear things for us..
@@samm6425 well, I'm from two different worlds; one world is hearing and another world is deaf. I can hear things in hearing world but in deaf world, I can feel sounds due to vibrations and something like that. It's pretty cool because I know things from two different worlds. Cochlear implant is a lot stronger than hearing aids. It enables me to hear normally. I have remote control which even can help me to volume up my hearing. Sometimes, I can hear robotic versions of sounds depending on volumes/remote control.
Haha I can relate to you. fellow deaf person here and when I don't like listening to few people I just take out my hearing aid and just nod. (:
@@morbidgirl6808 "Cochlear implant is a lot stronger than hearing aids. It enables me to hear normally." If you were born deaf, then how would you know what hearing normally is? I'm not saying that to be a jerk, I genuinely wonder about these unique experiences that not everyone can experience. I would love to be able to hear exactly what a cochlear implant sounds like so I can reference it against what I call my Normal hearing.
You were born deaf but can hear with a machine? How?
I love popping balloons in anechoic chambers, such an amazing difference between inside and outside the room.
My biggest Desire is to meditate in such kind of place❤️
I suspect the "weird" is similar to what I love being out and about in a new fallen snow... dead quiet... (as compared to normal reflecto world). I'm sure this just 10x ...
Leave me in there for 30 min., I would go to sleep.
The sound of your breathing might wake you up.
I heard people complain that they could hear their own heartbeat in those chambers.
@@josephwright5921 You can hear your own blood flow in your body.
There's nothing that's sound free for me..... Thank you tinnitus.
maybe try rock and roll or white noise therapy?
I remember one winter I was sitting outside at night and it was so quiet I could hear the hum in my ears. I never realized before there was always some kind of background noise, trucks on the highway way in the distance, wind blowing, birds or bug noises
When I was on Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Japan, it was like an outdoor anechoic chamber. The last time I'd been in one was at Rudy Bozak's shop on the late 1950s, and the mountain reminded me of that level of silence.
The quietest room in the world? Accidently having gas in church! 😉 Seriously though, fabulous video, Mary. Thank you for sharing this with us. Love & Light to you all out there in RUclips Land and BeYoNd! 😉 💜 🍀 👻 🎶 🐾 🤗
sure was not it being out tha talk in u
Never would have gussed. Been by that building and figured it was just offices.
I’ve worked with some negative DB’s, but that’s a different story.
that room is perfect for voice over and voice acting work
The seemed like fun! Interesting place to test audio.The first Shure microphone was a double button carbon microphone they produced in 1931. The closest experience to a place like this, was sleeping in the middle of the desert, in Arizona it was so quiet I had to speak to see if my ears were functioning.
i imagine it being quite cold in there but quite a nice cold
Ive spent time in anechoic chambers.. it really hurts to be in there.. its an awesome experience thanks for sharing!!! And the science... complete nerdgasm!!! You are awesome thanks for sharing!!
Hurts what?
@Ashleigh Thompson my ears hurt... its too quiet in there
"It sounds like it's right here" points to Amp..
Sensory depravation chambers are the same deal , some people can't take them but many people can astral planing and all that stuff
"Astral planing" lmaooo
I want to live in a room like that for sure. Awesome Vid
When avaricious youtube puts those damned commercials in the middle of a video I mute the sound and boycott the advertiser. On the other hand Mary is absolutely lovely and plays beautifully.
