Hear for yourself the quietest place on earth - an anechoic chamber. Listen to the Neumann KU 100 binaural microphone to experience the anechoic chamber where Neumann microphones are developed and tested!

Wow a room that sounds like my front yard on an extremely still night. What the world sounded like on most farms pre industrial revolution. I am off grid in the mountains and have no constant operating systems like a refrigerator or furnace or air conditioning electric lights. My closest neighbor is almost 4 miles away. I can clearly hear their dog bark or a train crossing the road 17 miles away at times. Silence when you can hear and focus on your own heartbeat is amazing and wonderful.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

@alextempletYT Год назад

This is utterly impossible to capture on a microphone, it just sounds like a regular old noise gate on a nice dynamic mic. I want to physically be in that room so bad

@AudioUniversity Год назад

You’re right! The “pressure on your ears” effect doesn’t really come across. It also helps take in the full effect if you can speak and hear what your own voice sounds like in that room.

@alextempletYT Год назад

@AudioUniversity yea I can't imagine how wrong it must feel to be in that room, in a good way though

@TheStiepen 10 месяцев назад

I've been in an antenna measurement room. It's basically a room designed to be an anechoic chamber for radio waves. However the geometry is very similar and as such, it also works very well on acoustic waves. That certainly was an interesting experience.

@cloudmann10 Год назад

I have been in an Anechoic Chamber when when I was in my teens at MIT (now 65) and the way I describe it is just erie. It is almost like you sense more of your 'self' being present than in regular space, if that makes any sense.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

That’s an interesting point! I think both auditory and visual sensory deprivation can have that effect.

@tomlewis4748 Год назад

I've heard that some people, when in an anechoic chamber for the first time, might even get nauseous and lose their lunch, bc it's so disorienting to not hear what we otherwise hear constantly. As far as the 'underlying concept', I see that as all sound has both early and late reflections in the normal world. Things will not sound natural without them. If you use samples in your recordings, they are usually recorded in a dead room (not this dead, but dead enough to sound thin by themselves). This is why I add some small amount of room reverb to them almost every time. Just enough to be barely perceptible in solo. It makes a difference, bc it makes dead samples sound natural, as if they are happening in the real world, as if they are being presented to the listener in the real world.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

Great point about samples, Tom. Thanks!

@chinmeysway Год назад

It’s interesting too bc the listener will most likely hear music in a non dead space so it’s like they’re adding reverb at the end of a mix to some regard , I guess unless headphones are used.

@tomlewis4748 Год назад

@@chinmeysway These days, most people listen with headphones or earbuds, which is one reason I mix on headphones. It's also one reason why I don't use much reverb. People listening on headphones don't expect much reverb from the environment and don't get extra reverb from their environment, but too often people mix in a room deader than most listening environments, and end up adding what is the 'proper' amount of reverb, which once listened to in a normal environment, can be too much aggregate reverb. But my music is percussive jazz, and it's probably best without much reverb.

@Bradleybrookwood Год назад

You made it out alive! You didn't go crazy lol! I would love to visit those rooms and record in those rooms and make an album in those rooms? How come recording studio booths don't sound as quiet? Also what type of music do you make and where can I hear it? I love your voice and you sound like you'd be a great singer that would make amazing music.

@angusscott-voiceactorprese2608 Год назад

Very interesting indeed. I've just completed a new 'dead room' (for voice & foley work). Every time I close the door behind me, I keep hearing a low-level ringing in my ears - it was driving me mad - where on earth was it coming from? Herr Schneider has just answered that question - I've never noticed in a normal ambient room, I have very slight tinnitus! Thanks for the video. Enlightening.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

Interesting! Thanks for sharing, Angus!

@erthboy47 Год назад

I was wondering why the left and right channels of this video were so isolated from each other but it makes sense if there is nothing to reflect an audio source from the right side into the left ear!

@AudioUniversity Год назад

That’s right. This mic really shines in more reverberant spaces. But I think it’s a good tool to bring the viewer into the room with me, too.

@Jaburu Год назад

@@AudioUniversity it does fail here, right?

@RobKristjansson Год назад

Great video, as always! While my VO recordings did improve when I built myself a padded box, I had to include a "Booth Cut" in my corrective EQ to attenuate the low frequency boxy boom that came with it. Once the treatment in my room reached a point where it was pretty good - not dead, just pretty good - I recorded my VO outside of the box, and noticed another significant improvement, and no "Booth Cut"! I always record room tone and then use Izotope Rx voice de-noise (gently!) when I'm processing client work, and all I've received are compliments.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

Great tips here, Rob. Thanks!

@donepearce Год назад

Nice video. Anechoic chambers are indeed off-putting places when you first go in them.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

Very true! It took some time to get used to it. In the video, your ears adjust. But in real life, my ears never fully accepted it as “normal”.

@FirebrandVOCALS Год назад

The best Anechoic chamber is probably outer space 😎 I think 🤔 Another great video man … cheers 🍻

@AudioUniversity Год назад

Outer space has no air particles to vibrate. I’d guess that it’s not just anechoic, it’s COMPLETELY silent! Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching.

@jerwilliamsmith Год назад

Amazing. My tinnitus would not like this room.

@Galileocrafter Год назад

Can confirm, was in such an anechoic chamber ( quite a bit larger than this), my tinitus did not like it. Right next to it, it had a highly reflective chamber, think flat walls made to specifically reflect sound as efficiently as possible. The reverb was ear deafening when you tried to make noise in there, quite the experience.

@lukebeckwith4194 Год назад

@juukoisaac9421 Год назад

For a normal sound proofed studio setup, I felt that sound pressure gone and felt abit uncomfortable but now I feel more used to it

@AudioUniversity Год назад

When you get the blend of absorption-to-reflection-to-diffusion right, it makes for a very peaceful experience. Thanks for sharing!

@lcee6592 Год назад

That would be so interesting to work with a anechoic chamber. I remember getting my hearing checked at work in a mobile test truck. It had little booths that were very quiet. With headphones on, they would play various tones one at a time for each ear. The tone would become softer each time it was played. You would hold a push button and hit it every time you heard a tone. I remember how loud my breathing and heartbeat was. My neck joints crunched and creaked loudly too! But it was a unique experience though.

@Keithphotorama 3 месяца назад

Had this experience my entire life and about to become 62 years old. Been wearing Cochlear Implant in my right ear for over 2 years, it’s totally different from sounds people normally hear.

I have been in one for industrual hearing tests. One thing for sure us that it produces an errie feeling. One can easlily hear their heart beat and breathing through one's airways from what I remember. This was back in the day and my test showed that I could hear down to 4 db with whatever frequencues they used.

@sonnyleesmith Год назад

I was in an anechoic chamber once years ago and it was a very odd sensation not to hear any reflections. At first I hated it, but once I got used to being in the space, it seems more “normal”. Stepping out was equally as jarring.

@AudioUniversity Год назад

I agree. While I didn’t get to the point where it seemed “normal”, it was definitely jarring to return to “reality”. Thanks for sharing!
