No, this is nothing to do with the 2018 horror hit 'A
Quiet Place' .


Although if you, like me, were a fan of A Quiet
Place, I’m sure there were times when you thought
living a life full of peace and quiet wouldn’t actually
be that bad.

Well what if I was to tell you that there is an actual
place quieter than A Quiet Place?

And that it will drive you crazy rather than zen you
out?

At the Orfield Laboratories in Minnesota, there is an
anechoic chamber that is the quietest place in the
world.

In fact, it is so quiet that nobody has been able to
bear the sound, or rather the lack of, for longer than
45 minutes.

Inside the Chamber.

The room’s interior is so silent that its background
noise has a negative decibel output at -9.4 dBA.

To put that into perspective, the general background
noise of an urbanized area like a city varies from 60
– 70 dBA, whereas in a rural countryside area the
decibel output is typically 29 dBA.

The lab’s founder, Steven Orfield said:
“We challenge people to sit in the chamber in the
dark – one person stayed in there for 45 minutes.
When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the
room, the more things you hear.

You’ll hear your heart beating; sometimes you can
hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly.
In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.”

A Disorientating Experience.

So for a normal person going into this room, the
whole experience is very disorientating.
People have trouble standing or sitting within the
room, as well as navigating the room or
maintaining their balance.

The daunting lack of noise makes it near
impossible to orient yourself as you walk in the
anechoic chamber, as we human’s rely very heavily
on subconscious audio cues to navigate when
walking.

As Steven Orfield said: “You take away the
perceptual cues that allow you to balance and
maneuver. If you’re in there for half an hour, you
have to be in a chair.”

Practical Uses.

Other than driving people insane, this chamber is
used by companies to test how loud their products
are, as well as being used by NASA astronauts in
training to help them adapt to the silence of space.


So are you sure you still want that peace and quiet?
Are you? Well I guess it turns out it might actually
send you crazier than all that constant hustle and
bustle !!!

Isn't that what I said?
you said most "quite" not quiet.
Quite means :to the utmost or most absolute extent or degree; absolutely; completely.

Quiet means: making little or no noise, which is what the op meant in this context...
You're welcome

If you want to make work convenient and efficient it can be a good decision to use the lamps with adjustable brightness. Such lamps have the ability to control the brightness with a built-in-dimmer.

No you won't. Hehe.

It's designed that way. Even as you don't go out, you hear things persistently. How do you think you'd feel, hearing your own heartbeat, your lungs sound and all. You think you'd stay the 24 hrs? I beg to disagree

i know how that place feels like. Through serious meditation,you can attain perfect stillness(whereby you hear your heartbeat,the blood rushing through your veins e.t.c).the beauty and bliss of meditation,such quietness connects you to your higher self.
