Is it normal to hear a ringing noise when it’s quiet?
I wanna beat my meat in one of those chambers
I need this anacoic home. Invisible voices attacks me. 😞 They like...talk louder if they hear me. It comes even closer every step.
if those aliens in Quiet Place really had this super hearing theyd hear us breathing and heart beating - game over
Aye my country MN
Hmm interesting room.. what if.. you put a baby inside of there and let it grow up old. Would the baby evolve into something to coop with the room environment? Seeing how nature evolution like to evolve species with their surroundings and all
the longest anyone has ever stayed in that room is 45 minutes. After that they quite literally started going insane
10:20 thats a jim carrey moment 😂
This is my favorite channel to go to about science (duh because well science) and it's about stuff that may seem interesting as well
Think twice about living
Or you could blow their ears out with a gun
you could have just said the word nothing and been done
put a call of duty player in there, you be hearing them rage,lol
@aquietplace
I like your videos ;)
If those aliens have super sensitive hearing, then why not use high decibel sonic emitters to damage there hearing or even make them deaf?
Asmr with Kyle
I figured that the quietest place on Earth would sound like your own heartbeat. Also a weird question, does anyone else have to ignore the sound of their own heartbeat when wearing high quality earbuds with marshmallow tips?
I just subscribed, this is an awesomely educative and entertaining channel.
A wrist watch from atleast across the room.. at night no problem and deadly annoying... i used to take out the batteries of wall mounted watches in neighbouring rooms because i couldn't sleep as a kid. How does that work? Because i barely hear a car aproching as soon as the sun comes up.
Episode is sponsored by skyscraper talks about a quite place the whole time
Can you prove that life isnt a simulation?
I have very bad hearing in my left ear but sometimes i hear thing really well but my right ear is pretty good and if i close my right ear i almost don’t hear anything
6:35 wait what? I sometimes can do that if my surroundings are quiet enough. No joke o.O
Noobs I can localize sound in three dimensions
ASMR
When you were in the anechoic chamber, did you notice the absence of the high pitched ringing electricity makes when it goes through wires? My hearing is still sensitive enough to hear everyday electric current sometimes.
*Misses door handle*
Which has more sensitive ear the owls or seals
Hahaha “I’m a bag of noise!”
What will happen if you spend too long and what will happen afterwards IF you listen below zero decibels?
If it is quiet enough in my room, and I move as little as possible while my head lays on my pillow,
I can hear an *_extreaeeamly_* quiet shhhhhing sound. What is that? Is that the blood rushing through my head?
If it is, I wonder where that rates on the dB scale?
You're channel is such a awesome place. I love the humor and the science. I mean just look at your Mini-Thor hair. It has to be creating the science.
Did he say get out of here john this is my scranton lol
You mention the sweet hooty boys but not sky puppies??? My beautiful echolocating angels???? My special flying mammal SONS????
Sometimes I place sound with visual effects so even though there is no sound I feel like I can still hear something.
It sounds like nothing
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 >.>
Wow! So original! I hAVe nEvER HeARd tHaT bEfOre
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”

-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
-100,000 dB: Hear the hydrogen atoms collide within the sun
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
