World's Quietest Room You Say?

Your voice also sounds deeper to you than to others because the vibrations travel better through your skull than through air.

You can also hear your heartbeat and blood flowing.

There's still air in there lol, it's not like you can't produce sound in an anechoic chamber. It's just a super soundproof room.

I don't think your voice has to bounce off a wall for you to hear it. You should be able to hear it just fine in this room.

Because it's in your body. Sort of how like you can feel the vibrations if you sit on top of a subwoofer.

There's that, but sound also diffracts, so the sound coming out of your mouth will travel around your face/head to your ears.

yes

My company records pianos in an anechoic chamber. They put microphones in the right places and then hit the notes on the piano - the microphones pick up the sound as usual. The room is designed to deaden reverb, so you can record/analyse sound with a clarity you can't get anywhere else. If you want a room that's actually silent, you need no air - ie a vacuum, ie you'd die.

It messes with your middle ear

oh, thank you two for explaining

I would say that it has absolutely nothing to do with this ridiculous meme and everything to do with time constraints (don't hog the quiet room).

Yes because I'm sure you have to book a place years in advance.
Extreme silence like that can cause atrophy of your ears due to not being used, the same way going into space for too long makes your legs weaker. It's just that your ears are far more sensitive to that stuff.

Guest, can you even support that theory with the overwhelming evidence of the other argument?

People who have lost their hearing through accident or disease don't generally go insane. If someone can't handle their own thoughts or the sounds their body makes, that's their problem.

Not having a sense of sound is not the same as being in a completely silent room.
