I saw a docomentary where a guy was in there in the dark for longer than 45 minutes.. He didnt think it was too bad actually. Don't remember the name though
He was in there for over an hour, actually. He said nothing really even happened, like, if you have problems with the dark or small spaces or silence probably.
Women probably top out at the shortest time.
Then single guys.
Then married men can stand (enjoy) the silence the longest, especially those with whiny teenagers.
That's an interesting hypothesis.
Admittedly, it is rooted in steriotypes but I would be interested in seeing this put to the test objectively and what the results might be.
.
As a counter hypothesis, I would suggest that the duration of one's ability to stay in the chamber is determined by their extroverted/introverted tendencies and not thier gender or social status.
You are really letting your scientific ignorance show there...
Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale from -100 to 100.
Here you go, learn something:

Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale from -∞ to ∞. The table linked is only a sample range.

The range of sounds we know of run from -9.4 dB (the quietest room mentioned in this post) to +194 dB (the loudest sound possible in Earth's atmosphere, due to the way dB are calculated). Louder and quieter sounds are possible, however.
