"They say silence is golden – but there’s a room in the U.S that’s so quiet it becomes unbearable after a short time.
The longest that anyone has survived in the ‘anechoic chamber’ at Orfield Laboratories in South Minneapolis is just 45 minutes.
It’s 99.99 per cent sound absorbent and holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s quietest place, but stay there too long and you may start hallucinating. (...) ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ (...)"

I bet I could beat 45 minutes in there. I adore silence. Havent achieved it (damn neighbors), but willing to try

After living in a house with near constant noise, I think I would revel in an hour of silence.

That's what I want for my next apartment.

FF Meetup spot! We're all used to typing to each other anyway. :D

I think I could handle it; without a little aid, it's noisy in my head.

Wow! Thank you, @Amira! Fascinating!!

Watching "Bang Goes the Theory" S6 ep2 right now and they're using a similar chamber to record the sound of a maggot moving. (EDIT: The snail makes no discernible noise even in such a chamber. Snail = NINJA)
