Silence, is it golden??


“Silence is Golden” they say. And more often than ever we seek silence for ourselves. But think again !


What would it feel like to be in a room that is totally silent, or in other words an anechoic chamber.


Orfield Laboratories in South Minneapolis US claims to have constructed the Earth’s quietest place. It is 99.99% sound absorbent.

This is a picture of the Anechoic Chamber at Orfield Laboratories. Infact, this place is so quiet that the longest any person has survived in this chamber is 45 mins. Stay here for too long and you’ll start hallucinating.







So, who wants to try this out…???
