We have one of those at our head office. It's pretty amazing - the door is a foot thick and when it's closed, the silence is kind of oppressive. No reflections, no reverberation, nothing. Cool place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there!

The floor is made of wire. I wonder if you jump on it, what noise would it make?

It’s called an anechoic chamber. Apparently if you stay in one long enough, you’ll be able to hear your body make noises and hear your blood pumping. Isn’t the record for staying in one only like an hour or so because it’s so maddening?

That second part is a myth. The part about hearing your nervous system whine and your blood flow is apparently true - I believe it goes back to an encounter John Cage had in one
