I'm going to scream as loud as I can keep screaming as loud as I can
spin around keep going into my brethren great
ready here by
I your understanding thank you
the quietest place on earth is apparently an an echo chamber in
Minneapolis
now I'm here at BYU at there an echo chamber and a coke is the Latin
basically means no echo
and the way they achieve no echo is through all these
phone wages which are put on the walls and even the floor
you can see that I'm actually on a spring floor and down below me they're
all of these
wedges now you may want to use headphones while you're listening to
this video because that's going to be quite important
low-frequency sound will come in and by
the shape of it bouncin just keep bouncing pretty much forever
Intel it just gets lost in the wall
and then high frequencies are more so going to be absorbed into the form
itself
you can hear how the room didn't echoes by clapping constantly while closing the
doors
totally change the quality the same
definitely there are reports that it's impossible to stay in one of these rooms
and remain same for a significant period of time the record is apparently
forty-five minutes
a little claustrophobic ago it felt like there's a lot of
pressure on my head but why would that be a mean
the air is no different here what I figured is this cuz when you listen in a
normal room
there's a lot of reverb two-year here that means there's a lot of space
but there's nothing here such as cost for a pic it feels like you're in a tiny
room
like your you could be in a coffin get maybe she which
I think it's million anxiety response so used to having the sounds around you
and then you don't anymore and they start to panic his you have something
you use to and I think that anxiety
can increase caused from stress maybe that's why people
go crazier who lose the name with sounds good they're trying to
make up for what they're used to it isn't there and I bring people and i won
them hey if you get a little dizzy please let me know so I can
and get you out of the room before you make a mess in
in our expensive facilities through the hut
for show here any rust love your clothing see you move in NGO here
then you'll hear any fluids that are in your mouth or you're throw you hear them
all moving around the retaining the amount and
the longer you stay nobody has to start here the blood flow through your
brain you heard it boo when I some kinda wondering here
whole thing can you can't make the sound for us so that we know with the listener
further other blood flow yeah I don't like opposing like some people sitting
here heartbeat coming from that just as well
to have you heard them now a violinist
placed in one of these rooms was apparently banging on the door within a
matter of seconds trying to get out
now the people say it's impossible to stand up because you become so
disoriented dizzy
noxious and and some people even hear aural hallucinations
but to me it doesn't sound right you know I believe that I should be able to
see it in a room with no sound with the lights off for as long as I like
and I'm gonna put myself to the task by staying in this room for as long as I
can
have fun in silence
thank you now it is just me
in the an echo chamber and this is probably the quietest place
I have ever been in a second I'll tell you guys
shut the lights off okay
hey think oh ho ho ho I
I'm ready and a litre of
I'm gonna turn off the camera so I have this way and then there's only the idea
recorded on keep with me
not sure how long happening here bennis stock
feel quite comfortable its Anna
nation quiet as I mean
that's an understatement but it's an
it's relaxing if I hear anything I feel like you're here
low-pitched home
if I had to guess about how long I've been here
say about a minutes
I can more aware of my heart
can feel each pulse and can almost feel it
radiating campaign chest towards my head
like a wave might use them hissed
I think that's just from hearing loss
this reminds me that
Mission Impossible movie where Tom Cruise sneaks into that building in
s2 keep is to spoil
ginsburg
me can send the really small sounds
seem amplified secure brain has recalibrated
for the quiet things see much latter
feel like
can feel more thing track with every beat of my heart feels like
my body shakes a little bit
like a
device potential motor in time
i cant sure coram from okay Cameron
looks to me like a good for time if
it looks the same to you like we ran 46 minutes
and or over i'm happy to have found
so you know when you're ready all
you could pull it back on if you like it'll
although
I think I've been here for nearly an hour
according to my time checks and and I didn't fall asleep I just you know
had a good time to nice quiet space I kinda feel like this would be a good
material prepared two bedroom in
not a problem an echo chamber forty-five minutes an hour
easy I could staying here for five aris I think I can get a little work done in
your
so well
now I just have to get out you know I'm gonna see if I can
exit this room without them turn a light on
you gonna do is nice and quiet
area back to the outside world
the hope
hello
pay no life and I don't really understand I'm going to go crazy in
there
I mean quiet is kinda nice then again there are people who find all sorts of
situations really uncomfortable like just being a a pitch black room or
being a small confined space so maybe those tax people would find this
kinda unnerving I definitely noticed that there were a lot of noises
like your wasn't just pure silence like actually have to work hard
to make things feel silent I'm otherwise you know there is a sounded like just me
rubbing my beard
or houten or just like the Russell under clothes or every time you swallow
when you brief perhaps the weirdest thing I noticed was like my sense
have my heart I just felt like it was pumping really hard
and and I could feel almost like the blood pushing up through me
it was like I was hearing it just like I was feeling it
and I was feeling as though in a way my heart with shaking my body
that was something weird and
but besides that I think lynn crazy no
know we're dead hallucinations or anything like that so I think the
the myth that you can stand here for longer than a them for 25 minutes
is a is busted even though this is not meant Busters I
I still think it's it's not your playoffs
now if you really hate silence you should always carry an audiobook around
with you
and I can recommend a good one The Fault in Our Stars by my friend John Green
it isn't excellent book and it's been basically the talk with the best sellers
ever since it was released
and soon there's a movie coming out and so you probably want to get to the book
before you go and see the movie
now you can download this book for free by going to audible dot com slash very
Tassin
