Is 45 minutes really the longest anyone can stay in a perfectly silent, pitch-black room?

Want to watch the whole hour of silence? • An Hour of Silence
Many stories have circulated claiming the longest anyone has stayed in an ultra-quiet anechoic chamber is 45 minutes, the reason being any longer would drive you insane. To me this sounded like unsubstantiated rubbish, like the claim the Great Wall is the only manmade structure visible from space. So I put my own psyche on the line, subjecting myself to over an hour of the most intense quiet on Earth. No, this was not THE quietest room on Earth (-9dB) but it is one of the quietest, and the truth is once you put a person inside, they are by far the loudest thing in there so the sound rating of the room is irrelevant.
I was not surprised to find that I could stay in there for as long as I liked and feel perfectly fine. What was surprising is that my heartbeat was audible. You can hear it on the sound recording. Now I wasn't consciously aware of the sound of my heart while in the room, but I was more aware of the feeling of it beating.
Huge thank you to everyone at BYU: Duane Merrell, Spencer Perry, Cameron Vongsawad, Jazz Myers, Ann Clawson, and Robert Willes.

@anastasiakorkova9175 2 года назад

I was born completely deaf, and always thought "silence" is what I experience. My brain doesn't have the ability to receive sound, so sound is a non tangible to me, something I can never understand or imagine. It just hit me that "silence" is a non tangible for me too. Silence only exists to people who can hear sound, because thats the only way you could recognise it, that silent room and standing right under a jet engine would be the same for me, this is why I could never learn how to speak vocally, even though I know several mouth shapes from my mom and sisters signing to me an speaking at the same time. Im also confused, so hearing people ALWAYS hear sound? even with no wind or people around? Being the only deaf person in my family, I was always surprised to learn how many things make noise, and wake people up, It never occurred to me that closing doors makes a sound or picking up a plastic bag makes a sound, but fabrics and my hand open and closing does NOT make a sound. crazy world hearing people live in

@alexanderackerman3807 2 года назад

Everything that moves in air including your fingers makes a sound it's just that sometimes, especially for small movements it's just so slight that most people can't hear it. I guess you could consider a soundproof room sort of like light. When you go to bed at night your room is very dark but there's still some semblance of light there. The equivalent example of a soundproof room would be a room that's in complete darkness. So yeah we always hear something sort of like you always see something, it's just that it might be incredibly slight.

@mrroque8321 2 года назад

Your comment is fascinating to me but yes rubbing a fabric can make a sound, opening and closing your hand can too it just depends how aggressive and close to an ear it is. Anything that moves can make a sound it’s just really that a lot of things can move slow or without rubbing against anything to where most people won’t hear it unless they put their ear right next to your hand opening and closing for example because that’s such a low frequency.

@anastasiakorkova9175 2 года назад

@@alexanderackerman3807 THANKS! that is super helpful, I have always wondered things like, what would hearing be like, and how would the world be like with 5 senses instead of 4. It blows my mind that there is a whole world that most people experience all the time and is invisible to me, kinda fascinating! Thinking of it in terms of light makes sense, because technically seeing dark or black is not the same as seeing nothing, when you close your eyes, your optic nerves are still active. I know some deaf people have hearing aids that allow them to pick up sound, and do understand to some degree what sound is, but I actually don't have auditory nerves so I will never really know what sound is, but its very interesting to learn about .

@v1rotate3 2 года назад

That is totally fascinating, if you dont mind me asking, if you have never heard sound, how do you think, like inside your head? You wouldn't like "hear a voice" in your head, because you wouldnt know what a voice sounded like. Do you like see like written words when you think or sign language (i guess i'm assuming you sign) I couldn't imagine being deaf like you. also you have a really pretty name, where are you from?

@anastasiakorkova9175 2 года назад

@@v1rotate3 I am from the united states, my parents are both from Russia though. you are correct sign language is my only language, I cant use my voice, and lip reading is not very accurate for people born totally deaf ( i am often told I make unintentional vocal sounds while signing though) To answer your question about "how do I think in my head" I honestly dont know, i dont have an answer, im sorry.

The fact that he lasted over 45 minutes and wasn't even particularly bothered makes me think the 45 minutes thing is a myth or perhaps based on some people freaking out in the chamber.

Veritasium casually breaks world record " I like silence, no big deal":

@Demonsta 9 месяцев назад

He cheated by talking to himself. The longer the ear is in silence the more unusual sounds it will pick up, or even create its own sounds to compensate (auditory hallucinations), like a camera lense trying to focus on nothing, that's why most people can't take more than 45 minutes. Every time he spoke out loud he allowed his ear to focus and reset his progress. This is like saying he broke a record for longest distance run without a break even though he sat down and talked to the camera every 5 minutes before running again.

I did live sound effects (Foley) for over 25 years and often I would work in a "Dead Room" which was a modified A Chamber. Sometimes the actors would leave to listen to the playback of the scene and I would stay in the Dead Room waiting for them to come back for another take. The lights were never turned off but from experience I can state that in the silence of the room you would begin to hear your heartbeat and the blood pumping throughout your body. My ears started to hear something in the silence and slowly I began to hear the air flow within the room. I think under the correct circumstances it would have been an excellent location for deep meditation but I doubt that it would drive a normal person crazy. However some of the people I worked with ... ?

I lived in Japan which can be noisy depending on the area you live. The people are generally quiet but even if you live in a quiet area , you will be woken by people coming or going in the morning. If you are near a busy street, sometimes you get acclimated to the constant background traffic noise. It's overall noisier than the USA because of the population density.

when i was doing my broadcasting engineering degree i had the privilege of going into an anechoic chamber several times with some of my class mates we all varied in how long we could stay in. But i totally heard my blood rushing through my veins. I heard sounds that weren't really there. What surprised me the most the first time though is the deadening of sound like when you talk its hard to explain its like your words get sucked away. We had a couple of people who got really visibly sick and very nauseous. And at least two of my class mates had anxiety of varying levels. If you ever get the chance to experience it though I'd say go for it. It really is a unique experience

I think the idea of this place is scary for people who need stimulation or have intrusive thoughts, but people who meditate more, prefer quiet solitude and don't have mental health issues that conflict with places like this, they'd find it really freeing.

We have one of these at work and the sense of isolation and loneliness starts when you realize what you can't hear; traffic, wind, any voices, all the background noises you don't hear when you can hear them but do hear them when you can't. In your memory.

A good deprivation chamber is an interesting experience. The body is so noisy that it’s far from quiet. A few times I felt like I was tumbling but it was very short. It’s great for mediation - quiet the mind and extremely relaxing. If I had 100k to spare I would certainly get one. Very deep caves are also very quiet, with short moments of rumbling (think it’s the moon attraction that pull the surface) but one has to stay long to hear them.
