A modern city dweller would give a lot at the end of the work week to spend at least a couple of hours of free time in silence and without fuss.
Something similar was presented by Microsoft – a development from the field of innovative technologies.
Microsoft has set a record by creating the quietest place in the world.
As representatives of the Guinness Book of Records clarify, we are talking about the quietest room in the world.
It is located at the company's headquarters in Washington, DC.
You shouldn't expect an echo in this room, and the source of the sound is the human body.
During the research it was proven that the noise level in it is -20.35 dB.
The room is completely isolated from noise sources from the outside world.
Noise not only does not penetrate it, but is reflected and absorbed.
The very fact of preparation for the research is also interesting. The engineers expected that they would be able to at least achieve a noise reduction of 16 dB, but they achieved simply stunning results!
Previously, the record for silence belonged to Stephen Orfield and his company Orfield.
The noise level in his room was reduced to -13 dB.
It is believed that in a room with 99.99% noise absorption, a person can hear his heart beating and his lungs moving.
People who visited Orflid's room began to go crazy due to the absolute silence.
