I would actually quite like trying it just for the heck of it...

The silence is so maddening it can cause hallucinations.

The longest anyone has been able to bear the room is 45 minutes.

You're not likely to last more than 30 minutes:

Nice Sim.

Btw, Salford is very likely the quietest at -12.4. It just hasn't been tested by the Guinness people.

I wish one was closer by, even if it wasn't the quietest, I just want to get a feel for what it's like, even roughly like.

Clearly some noise is good for us. Janill, keep searching.
