I didn’t understand when it did the comparison of our hearing ‘db’ and the chamber’s db. Does it mean that our ears can repel sound up to 0 db and the chamber up to 9.4?
ugh, i hate silence i can sleep with my ipod on at half bolume and tahts prettyt loud it would be nice to see what it is in that uber silence but i wouldnt like it that much
Ah silence 
The ability to actualy hear your own thoughts for a change.
I’d love that, but too much silence for too long will drive you insane!
That is my state, cool.
I would like to be in such room, let’s say… about 10 minutes, should be enough time for not going crazy 
.
I agree with most of you, i’d prolly go insane.
but its nice once in a while.
mhmm… I like silent places. I don’t see how it could be a bother… I mean… why would someone need to hear something he doesn’t have to hear? It’s just nice, in my opinion. I would certainly wouldn’t mind having to be somewhere silent for extended periods of time.
(Silent places are also great to spend time with people with. If you’re talking, you’d know they’d hear you too. Just a random thought. Sometimes I feel I can’t hear the person I’m talking too.)
I get tinnitus too - but I don’t care, if I found somewhere silent, I would bring rations and “train” (for LDs) there for 3+ days.
I can sometimes hear my heart beating in quiet. I also heard my heart beating once before I had my ears syringed. That was when my wax in my ears had built up and was putting a little pressure on the vein under it.
for … les say 15 minutes , that would be quite awesome i think 
…
Oh for some quiet.
I get sick of always hearing something sometimes. I suppose, technicley there isn’t really any such thing as absolute silence but it would be wonderful to meditate without feeling I had to block the whole world out first. 
i would also like this quiet place away from the noise of my hoise and my freinds nagging me and would also practice ld techniques like someone above said.
it seems that there are enemies of silence and enemies of noise
mainly i’d be the latter
i could give you so many reasons but they would just angry up the blood like grandpa simpson
it is GOOOOOD to listen to “tinnitus” it will bring you into a TRANCE the tones take over your mind. its an energy issue, though you can get it from damaging your ears with too much loudness yes
I think it would be amazing to be in that room. The only problem is that I’d probably get annoyed by all the noises I would make myself. Like the rustle of clothes as I move, etc. Of course, if I were sleeping/meditating that wouldn’t be as much of a problem. 
My biggest worry would be what leaving the room would be like, to be suddenly assaulted by noise.
Silence FTW!
it would be cool to see how quite u really can be
i cant imagine what TRUE silence is like…
I think that I would start to hear things that aren’t there. Like a beep or someting. I sometimes have that in a quiet room. I don’t think that I will like it.
Agreed.
ohh… silence would be completely awesome… ive been in a sound proof room before… it was amazing. i was on a tour of our hospital, and the room was for audio therapy (or something like that). even though there were other people in there with me, the entire atmosphere changed. you could here the other peoples breathing, you could almost here their heartbeats. of course, the silence a ruined by a enthusiastic drum playing panda… and then a symbol playing elephant… freak the heck out of everybody. but when we left it felt really weird. you could here the noise coming down all the corridors colliding around you ears… it was pretty intense
Silence (sigh)… I would love to be in a room like that for my meditations. All too often there is so much noice and distractions it would be nice to hear nothing for awhile. A couple of years ago at the Canadain National Exibition in Toronto they had a hallway that was made of some kind of sound absorbing material. It was really freaky, leaving the noise of the exibition grounds to the sudden absolute silence of nothing for 30 seconds, then to the noise again.
bit, if you think about it, meditation with noise is a good thing. it forces you to flex you meditation muscle. it helps you increase your ability to be completely inward, accepting the noise, but not paying attention to it, and letting it wash over you. imagine if you were able to meditate in a busy/loud place, or a concert hall that somebody dragged you to. if you were able to meditate in complete silence, that would decrease that ability. if you ever tried to meditate in normal surroundings, you’d lose focus quite easily, and that = not good.
im guessing the key is to make a silence room in your mind… only adding to the depth of meditation.
I don’t know how it is with only silence but I read about a tv-program, I never saw it though.
They were doing an experiment with being enclosed in a silent and dark room.
They explained that being in a dark and silent room was (the worst kind of?) torture since the brain needs sensory input or it would soon lose cognitive abilities and it won’t take longe before the brain starts hallucinating.
