What Does the Quietest Place on Earth Sound Like?

It's true :O I do find your falsetto eerie :O

The anechoic chamber’s battles remind me of the early designs on the F117 nighthawk’s intakes. Even in modern stealth aircraft the most common source of radar reflection is due to the intakes. Without relying on the use of Radar absorbing materials the best way to reduce the return of radar signatures was by utilizing a similiar design

quiet unless you suffer from tinnitus
..

14:40 😂😂😂

As someone with tinnitus, the idea of being at the quietest place on earth is a nightmare.

If you like Barn Owls so much you should read Guardians of Ga’ Hoole. The main character is a Barn Owl.

Why can we torture the damned thing by makin soo much noise its ears bleed like grab 1000k speakers Mr . beast style turn it all to a hundred and start playing hehe monika huh!!?

Wait the alien can hear a dammed clock but not hear their runnjng and breathing? ????

I wanted to fart in class. So i had a plan to drop a book and fart at the same time. But accidentally i dropped the book, everybody turned back, and i farted >.>

that room lets you hear all the voices in your head, lol

was that decibel southern?

I've been in that anechoic chamber before on a tour. It was interesting to say the least. They didn't have the plywood on the floor when I was in there though, that adds a point of reflection.

Now just paint the whole thing in vantablack and step into the void.... it would be like space... but with air and gravity.

Or being within a mile of a Rocketdyne F-1 Kerolox engine when it's firing.

"Hooty boys" are the best boys! ☉v☉

you are wrong about horizontal explain

Our awareness of sound is also constantly being filtered by our brains, making our perception of ambient noise more significant when there is less of it (which is why a dripping tap or ticking watch becomes more irritating at night than during the day. It's not actually louder, just more consciously perceptible). Without this mental filtration of local body sounds, our awareness of them would be saturated with the noises of our heartbeat (& also the sound of blood turbulence in major arteries), the movement of air in & out of our lungs, the gurgling of food traveling through our digestive tract (& not just the louder noise of gas bubbles moving in our intestines), and even the grinding of our joints & the clicking of ligaments.
Our various sensory perceptions are vastly greater than our conscious awareness of them, and are affected by both our mood & noxious stimuli in our environment (some of which trigger our flight-or-fight response, releasing Adrenaline (Epinephrine) intensely stimulating the acuity of our senses).
Note that 0dB is technically at the Average human baseline. There are individuals with unique mutations that enable them to hear lower volume sounds with great precision ("Golden Ears") & also trained musicians with more acute perceptions of subtle variations in music, that would be imperceptible to most people. There's also a medical condition called *Hyperacusis* that can happen after both prolonged exposure to high dB or certain drugs (notably Phencyclidine (PCP) & the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin, which can affect the acoustic nerves), where people experience intense pain from even low to average volume sounds & further become hypersensitive to extremely quiet sounds. The psychological condition *Misophonia/Phonophobia* is where everyday sounds (such as the noise made by a person chewing food), become intensely irritating, even painful (at any volume). This may also be a symptom seen in people with the conditions Autism & Schizophrenia (due to different kinds of dysfunctional neuroprocessing).
Incidentally, the *Barn Owl (Tyto Alba)* is supposedly capable of hearing the heartbeat of a mouse through a foot of snow, from over 60 feet away (even when trying to be quiet, humans would be pretty damn loud by comparison). They have very sophisticated neural structures to process the sounds that they hear, with their Medulla having about 95,000 neurons (about 3 times that of a raven, for example).Owls are also capable of detecting differences in sounds arriving between each ear of 30 millionths of a second. Most impressively of all, their amazing hearing doesn't degrade with age (unlike like human hearing, which drops significantly with each successive decade over 40), with intense research being done into their unique capability of regenerating auditory neurons, in the hope of applying it to us.

While the previews of The Quiet Place look awesome, the premise of aliens that hunt with hypersensitive hearing has a pretty obvious flaw. Human activities have this irritating tendency of producing large volumes of noise, and what would be merely uncomfortable for us might be excruciatingly painful (even lethal) to them. We already have sonic weapons, like the LRAD 500X (The Long Range Acoustic Device, which is currently used by United States police as a form of non-lethal crowd control, produces a tightly focussed beam of painfully intense sound ~ described as the whine of a mosquito amplified 500 times) which would be extremely effective against aliens that rely on their hearing as their primary means of perception.

I just fight them while bumpin some hard shit

Until i turn 34 years i was able to hear old analog tv even run even now i can hear my car electronic system wine or interference of the electronic of alrenator

...
-4 decibels is wristwatch ticking from meter away? That's...disappointingly normal?
I mean... How many negative decibels it would be if i can often hear voltage transformers (those small ones, phone and laptop chargers) squealing within 3m / within the same room i'm in usually regardless of size (within reason) because acoustics is an awesome thing....?
Or, hearing your own pulse (through major blood vessels around outer and inner ear, i'd assume). How many negative decibels would that be?

would a dog freak out inside one of those chambers? hmm.

It sounds like when my fans ask for a autograph (I have no fan lmao) eh I will leave . I am not asking for likes btw , just making a stupid joke

des-a-bull not des-a-bell

"I'm a bag of noise" best phase ive heard all year.

Wouldn't absolute loudness be better? A predator that hunts by hearing can't really pinpoint something in an ocean of sounds. I haven't seen the movie so i dunno how intelligent those aliens are, but assuming they are like the ones in the Alien movies (instinct-based, not very intelligent), it would be improbable for them to tell a human heart beating at a rock concert, lol.

“uhhuhuh im a bag of noise”

This video is sponsored by SKYSCRAPER
-talks about A QUIET PLACE

Bo the quiestest place on earth is my bed i can even hear my own thauths

Kyle how can u explain why I can hear my heartbeat while laying left/right ear on a pillow. Sometimes I fell the heartbreak in my head

Why not deafen the aliens, make a sound so loud that it ruptures their eardrums and then you be ok, they can't hear you

WHERE DAT MINNESOTA FAM BEEEE

I can hear my wrist watch tick from 1 meter away

Can no one else hear their teeth scraping, heart beating, and bones grinding all the time?

Hooty bois

what would happen if the protagonists of the quiet place would capture such a creature in such a chamber would that creature kill itself because it is loud? and couldn't they build just a portable sonic vortex sound cannon to destroy the aliens ears? I mean, if they hear so well, they'll certainly have a higher risk of becoming deaf ... that would be like making night-time animals that can see in the dark blind with a powerful laser...i would build such a gun oppositely, only to ear rape those alien critters XD

Before Watching The Video:
We would hear nothing because the sound is too low for us to hear.

-200 dB: You could hear a pin drop from a continent away lol

7:39 he got OOFED🤣

Imaging accidentally farting in the Quite Place movie ...
Fuck.

The random names he thanks at the end of the videos

Oooh boi that audio quality in the room

So being in the quietest place is like having a sensory overload? Every noise is seemingly amplified to you

I don't get the John Krasinski thing.

Pretty sure that’s a semi anechoic chamber because there is a floor.

There flying is dead silent
Owl: REEEeeeeeeeee

can you do an episode on tinnitus

“Adorable little hooty bois” I love it 😂

I [heard] you can hear your blood travel thru your body in an anechoic chamber... that would drive me crazy lol

Is there one of those quiet rooms, but on the outside? Or does it work both ways?

iM a bAg oF NoiSe

This should have been sponsored by A Quiet Place!

Should’ve been sponsored by "Duo asmr microphone"

i could not hear it but it was giving me asmr, weird

You guys should do a video on Rick and Morty's perfectly level thing

Nah the quietest place on earth is my schools library

Or maybe science can come up with a device that can simulate deafness...
Then one can truly experience hearing nothing.

For me it'd just sound like tinnitus.

Silence is golden, duct tape is silver.

😑😑

3:23 How gay was that?

7:28 YAY I CAN VISIT THERE SINCE I LIVE IN MINNESOTA!
(11/10/18)

John is always listening... ALWAYS

I can hear my watch from more than a meter away

That ending actually made me jump (14:38)

I Love the sense of humor of this channel. 2nd video ive seen so far. stuff i watch in the middle of the night when i cant sleep haha

1 Fact. This ain't the quietest place on Earth, on behalf of one guy.

Thank you for all the fascinating information...riveting,plus big lols

What Does the Quietest Place on Earth Sound Like? Sponsored by a movie about a skyscraper falling down with explosions

Silence isn't golden when you're holding it inside. Interesting video again. I can hear electricity going through wires. I thought it was tinnitus until I found I can't hear this sound during a power outage.

Don't worry, we're all a bag of noise

You mentioned recording, but are there other things anechoic chambers are useful for?

I'm sorry but i can hear my wrist watch from ~3 meters away when im in bed trying to sleep. I'm actually not joking here. I suppose it's normal.

If i can't sleep because i hear my watch ticking 2-3.5 meters away then is it means that my treshold is at -4 decibel?

at negative decibles can you hear electrons in wires? in microphones? microphone hearing microphone xD

Congrats, ur my new science teacher

wait, not sponsored by A Quiet Place?

Every now and then it happens that my hearing intesifies and I can hear for example a wall clock ticking 2 rooms away from me and exactly what two people talking in the water are saying while I'm on the beach more than 10m away with other noises around and stuff. Is this normal?

It sounds like my tinnitus.

Watch this with the sound turned off... next level!!!

Imagine creatures like that actually exist. Most if not all of humanity will die. Imagine being the last person on earth and giving away your position by a simple fart.

Our ears can hear verticality too. It becomes possible due to the shape of our external ear. When sound wave comes from above, then it bounces off the bottom part of the auricle, the frequency shift occurs and this shift is different if it comes from below and bounces off the top part.

Awesome videos but annoying as fuck ways of trying to be funny.. sorry cant watch many more if they are all like that

stop whispering! you're too cute when you whisper


actually.. continue whispering

All I know is you will start to hear things like you gulping down spit or anything else. Someone has even started to hear the blood rushing through them and this was in a complete silent room no sounds come in no sounds go out

Long eared bats are pretty sweet. They can hear a moth BARELY flap a wing a little bit. yum!

Quiet

How have I only just now stumbled across this beautiful science man??

he's so loud so I find this video extremely ironic for him to be making LOL

Man th sound that's picked up from the mic in that room is really good

but that would only work IF it was already built it before the aliens invaded otherwise it would be almost impossible to build it

1:08 “director and former halpert” 😫😫😫 I miss the office

Have you heard of a sensory deprivation chamber?

.... sponsored by skyscraper.... not by a quite place.... that's ironic

What you told at the beginning is littaraly the movie 'a quiet place'.

Can we make headphones which can make us hear -80 decibels?

But what bell is it based off of?

STUPID ASSHOLE. If you ware going to spoil something INFORM before you do it!! I didnt know that the MONSTER was ALIEN in the movie you stupid fucking asshole!!!!!!

how daredevil's hearing works

Should've let a fart out in that chamber... 😏

sound quality goes way up once hes in that room
