YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThese days, the quest for silence is an almost-impossible battle. But did you know that noise isn't just what we hear? It's also the glare that invades our eyesight and the draft that alters the temperature of a room. Noise is all around us. Steve Orfield has been studying this for decades at his lab in Minneapolis, Minnesota; his anechoic chamber has been a tourist attraction since the Guinness Book of World Records once named it the quietest place on earth. Orfield's chamber remains a tourist attraction—a destination where silence can be heard and felt. But why, in today’s increasingly noisy world, is silence such a rarity? And why do we need it?
