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.
I'd be more scared about the floor
Same
It's like a foot or two of foam. I think you'd be alright if you fell. But I'm not sure how high up it is.
well its not necessarily foam, its just soundproofing walls. They are soft on the outside but on the inside they are hard as a rock and it would be pretty terrifying if you fell.

Yes.
The ringing in your ear
Oh once I remembered that my dad left me for. 30 min. Oh that was bad

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
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.
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.
@@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 .
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?
@@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. II dont hear a voice in my head because as you said, I dont know what a voice sounds like, I also dont see written words so yea, I dont know how to answer that. thank you for the compliment about my name, very sweet of you.
"the record is 45 minutes"
Introverts : Are you challengine me?
Exactly
I'm an introvert and I would honestly be unnerved
As an introvert, I need a lot of sounds around me.
Even when I can stay for months without talking to anyone, I still need the sound of the electric fan, the chirping of birds, the barking of dogs, and music in my ears.
I can't imagine being in complete silence. I won't last long xD
Silence is power.
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. It could also be that people freak out now because someone has told them that everyone freaks out? Like a form of suggestion.
Whenever I go into dead silence my ears actually start ringing. The ringing becomes so loud that I just do something to make the ring quieter. Its weird.
BluesonAF that's blood rushing
Happens to everyone actually!
adrian ayllon Oh.
+BalorClub no it doesn't. It's called Tinnitus and it's caused by lots of things. Get your facts straight. Scrub.
BluesonAF Same here.
the quietest room is when your teacher done yelling in your class
ɢᴀʙʙʏ ɢᴀʀᴄɪᴀ when ever that happens I get really scared and plug my ears because of my sensitive ears :
That never happens
i agree
😂😂😂
nope when my class is screamibg and yelling at out teacher...smoke ciggarets and joints...welcome to Austrians Kids
Veritasium casually breaks world record
" I like silence, no big deal":
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.
@@Demonstareal
I mean, anybody that meditates can do it easily.
It's not a silent room if you talk the entire time
@@caioscofield If that's true, why have no meditators beaten the record? I'm super-introvert, love to meditate, and i'd love to try this and see. I don't talk to myself out loud, only in my head. I have 15 or so different games I can play by myself with no movement or noise whatsoever. Just going through those once would put me at past 45 minutes. But there must be something to the extreme silence. Idk
I’ve spent time in these chambers for work, and have to admit I’m completely flabbergasted by the feelings described of claustrophobia or fear. I always found them quite peaceful and have almost fallen asleep.
I used to work in and around an anechoic chamber for work when I was in my 20's. I always found being inside to be peaceful and calming. They did have rules for how long you could/should remain inside, but I didn't feel that was necessary (for me, at least).
What kind of work did you guys do? I'd like to visit one at least once on my life tbh
@@biq I used to work for General Motors, in the Noise & Vibration Labs. The anechoic chambers (there were two when I worked there in the late 70's and early 80's) were used to test interior modules - fan motors, switches, etc - in and environment where the noises from those modules could be tested and "tuned".
@@biq Radios and wireless devices, anything that emits RF is usually tested inside these chambers at some point.
@biq nearly every university has at least one of these. Typically they are in the electrical engineering department but if the school has a specialty with vibrations and acoustics MechE might have a bigger one.
The silence in that room:
My ear: *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Yep tinnitus
@@Baes_Drawp yes bro no silence for us

+Danny Lopez Muffled? It wouldn't be muffled.
Implying my band can afford a decent mic.
+Vithor Moraes Well, there wouldn't be any problem with noise cancellation, that's for sure.
+Vithor Moraes Yeah, that too.
I think the silence wouldn't freak me out but the dark would. I get really anxious and start panicking when it's pitch black bcs I can't orientated myself anymore. So silence yes, total darkness hell no 😬
What do you do when it's night?
@@harfgarflarf there's a huge difference between nighttime and total darkness. at night you can still see the faint light of the sky through your windows, but pitch black is a whole other level. you wouldn't be able to see your own hand in front of you, and after a while your anxiety would start taking over, making you paranoid, since our most primal fear is that of the dark. so yeah, the night's great... pitch black darkness? absolutely not
@@_bluespacee_ I actually have blackout curtains, so it doesn’t bother me that much. But also when it’s night… I’m asleep. Not much reason to need to see my hand in front of my face.
@@harfgarflarf you're obviously not getting my point
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've felt that heart feeling you describe since I was a kid, no one knew what I was talking about. I have hypersensitive senses, so the quiet is a great place for me to "recharge" and I love meditating. ❤️ another great video thank you
Lol same. I was just thinking about the potential of this as someone who enjoys meditation, as well as someone who actually needs quiet darkness for at least an hour a day in order to recharge properly and just let my my thoughts run as they may. 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.
I especially feel like the less stimulation there is, the more freedom and vividness my imagination has.
The other upside is that not only do I satisfy my internal world, but going out into the real world feels fresh again.
I have hypersensitivity too and feel my heart pretty frequently, but I do not enjoy it thanks to anxiety
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 want to experience this for research, for normal persons do we have to pay?

For someone who suffers for long time from noise pollution a room like this sounds like a dream coming true.
I could finally sleep well, feeling perfectly safe.
same bro , i could kill to spend an hour in that room
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.
Unless you have tinnitus...
Yes... exactly, just let me in 😭
Having some background noise is a good thing because it helps us maintain awareness of our surroundings, especially individuals who suffer from tinnitus like myself.
I had a hearing test done in an anechoic chamber that was a bit bigger than a phone booth. After about two minutes I could hear my blood flowing. It was a mind blowing experience.
Imagine he geting out of the room only to find several years have passed somehow and everyone is missing.
Interstellar Plot there.
And then zombies come out.
Idk
thats what i thought happened when he walked out and no one was at their desk.
i also thought the same
But this was 6 years ago...
The silence probably wouldn't drive me crazy. It's the darkness that would.
Chin Chin The Dark Lord the dark helps me I could sit in a pitch black room for hours just give me a bed and I'm set
ey b0ss would u liek a sacrifice.

not being able to see what's around you is what makes me have to sleep with a night light at night lmao
Chin Chin The Dark Lord its ironic that your name is the dark lord lol 😂 😂
As a meditator, I would LOVE to spend some time in a space this quiet. I can't even imagine the amazing things I would begin to hear within space and within my body. I bet my thoughts would be so loud in comparison to the sounds of the room. I'm sure wonderful things would come to mind with such a quiet space and nothing to distract me :)
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.
extroverts: "this room is so silent it will drive you crazy"
introverts: "it's free real estate"

Yeah! For once, there's quiet!
I was thinking wow that's a lovely place.
Yeaa
I would fall asleep in there

Odd Lover you wouldn’t be able to
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.
The most mindblowing part of this is when he gets to the end and talks about “the fault in our stars” being a super relevant hot book, and the movie is just about to come out, and then you look at the release date and realize this video is from 2014.
If you watch any fresh video on this channel - you''ll see the 8 years time difference immediately just on author's face.
I've heard the blood flowing through my ears just laid in my bed at night a few times.
Jk8Z that sounds like a very quiet sleeping place you have
I live on the outskirts of a small town, double-glazed windows shut, 2 am. Just laying and not doing anything for a while. Didn't have any electronics on standby so minimal background noise.
Jk8Z Sounds like a pretty cool place to live! I live in outskirts as well, though past a busy road, and the sound of cars is impossible to ignore. Very few cars where you are?
At 2am? Very few indeed!
Jk8Z at 2am people are still driving their cars here, no joke. Also general background rumble-sound from the city and buzzing street lights.
Imagine someone was somehow hiding there, and at the 30 minute mark they jump out and scream in your ear.

Balistocardiogram lay on a free floating table and it will move with your heart beat. Thanks Mr Newton.
Being alone with ones own thoughts seems like a blessing.
Now if you’re dependent upon constant stimulation and in that situation I could see people screaming “let me out”.
Be great to have some information on the exact material and angles/lengths/arrangements of wedges, and room proportions, to best deaden the sound. I'd guess at that extreme it would prevent a stereo speaker setup recreating a sense of ambience corresponding to most recording environments, as any indirect sound would be dramatically attenuated. But, would that make stereo imagine seem incredible precise, or remove some of the audible clues about the position of sounds in space?
Actually silence is really loud

I'd love to make a restaurant or restaurant & bar that has at least a ceiling or ceiling and partial walls like this. I have a terrible time trying to understand people talking when there are a lot of other voices, and I think this would help cut down the bedlam in a place like that. I wouldn't want it to be too quiet, just quiet enough you don't have to practically shout to be heard.

Same!
Same here. I thought I had something for a while cuz I hear my body ticking and flowing in the quiet
I can feel my heart move my body too when I sit still
I live in a well soundproofed house and when winds are slow and no motors or fluids are running it can be really dead quiet inside. And yes, that amplifies selfmade sounds like bloodflow. But I like it, no fear.
But: To be in a foreign pitch black room is another story. That may drive you crazy, but not because af the absence of sound.
You can be addicted to a certain kind of silence...

One thought I had that might have skewed results slightly... Possibly one of the reasons Most people find it uncomfortable is the sense of Aloneness... While documenting your feelings and experiences, even though you were technically alone, you had the "feeling" that others were there with you at the time.. A suggestion: try the same experiment Without the "comfort" of others there with you.. Might possibly give you a different Experience.. Great Vid, though.. Keep 'em coming😉

Extrovert: the quietest place ? Oh hell no
Introvert: 🙂

I WAS GOING TO COMMENT THE SAME THING BUT THEN I SAW YOUR . AND YES THAT IS HEAVEN . .
Hell yeah,,,,,,,
🙂
Yep that's so calm to me. I could sleep in that place with Oxygen enough
"This room didn't make me crazy"
Thats exactly what a person turned crazy would say.
This comment is exactly what a crazy person would say.
🤔
@@carjay7 Indeed. Muhahahaha!
Hahaha
This whole convo are what people turned crazy would talk about.
Who said I wasn't a psychopath already
You can have this at home with an earprotector or very good closed headphones. If you also want to have the "amplification of bodily sounds" effect, get a condensator microphone from your friend working at a recording studio, and loop the microphone back to your headphones.
It's quite funny, if you ever get the chance.
this is so cool!! I think I'd be able to do it for a long time too
I think this is kinda like a sensory deprivation chamber?
They should have used this room for Vsauce's Isolation.
I believe he was envited here to do just that but he dropped off the idea after finding out that it's kindda torture to stay longer than one hour in isolation and no sound feedback
misauce, vchael here.
He woulda died
Octave that probably wouldve resulted in michael going insane
plot twist: he didn't go crazy because he's already insane
My response to him leaving the room was "you're already insane dude"
Lmao
LMFAO
Me: I can stay in there longer than 45 minutes
Them: turns lights off
Me: oh sh*t
well ur not wrong
I want such a room as a sleeping chamber. This is great
I am confident I could spend a whole day or more in that room just because my life is usually spend alone at home and most of my social interactions are online, and I there really never is much noise in my house, it’s quiet almost 24/7 here, this is child’s play for me
A pillow and a matteress is all I need to break this record.
You sure you dont need wifi, laptop, mobile, all that stuff?
@@BanyAdam. I will sleep there for 8 hours and break the record 😂
Exactly.
i can sleep on a floor.
For the record ur not allowed to either use any gadgets nor are allowed to sleep or faint
when somebody steals your car radio...
And you just sit in silence....
Ayyy
tøp
sometimes the silence is violent
Now I just sit in silence |-/
this is literally just how i experience the world lmao i am always super aware of all of the sensations. are u telling me people don't regularly get mega aware of their heartbeat through their body. hearing every little sound. etc.
I sometimes - fairly often (last night for example) - hear my the pulse in my head, or hear the covers against my ear responding to the ear's slight movement from the pulse of blood through it. This occurs while waiting for sleep, especially after having wakened during the night. It's ok by me.
Then, of course, there's Beethoven, who was essentially totally deaf by the time he wrote his third symphony. He music in his head, and said it would not stop until he got it written down. What a life!
that bow just stole my heart at 0:18 😄❤
LUB DUB, LUB DUB LUB DUB!!!!!!!!!!! WOB WOB DRRRR DRDR WOBWOBWOBWOB DAWWWWW WOB WOB
Imagine your heart starts to dubstep
+Filip Gereg And then you have a heart attack because your heart is getting carried away with its own dubstep. Get rushed to the ER. "Whats wrong with him doctor!?" "He has... dubstep heart syndrome... its very serious and he probably won't recover. His heart is just jamming out way too hard."
+Filip Gereg I laughed wayyyy to hard at this. I could totally hear it in my head.
+Filip Gereg I laughed way harder than I should have
That's pretty good bro
+zeek awesomecus Pretty much what happened to me hahaha! but I'm good now!
Plot twist, he’s already crazy, which is why nothing changed
I believe it
@@vaderpaper2111 same
He'd survive seeing the monsters in birdbox
Imo, the room is little broken
I'm still in my bed since 2020 and now 2021
I feel good but i have something wrong , when i meet someone i feel uncomfortable and not fine until i'm alone , this is side effect of stay at home and homework . Thanks to covid-19 . 😫
