We do a lot of physiology experiments, i.e. we do a surgery and subsequent
recordings, which go 24 hrs a day until teh animal dies. Which means,
someone has to spend the nights with the animal. I hear a high frequency
swish in both ears, not localized, when I enter the room, esp if I am tired
(like at 4am, it is almost unbearable).
I go in and out of the sound room a lot, so I have a lot of experience with
the feeling of a deadened, quiet room.
