Subject: Re: Cage & Anechoic Chambers -- a few questions From: Tom Maglione <maglione> Date: Mon, 26 Oct 1998 22:32:56 -0500 (EST)I have been in 2 or 3 anechoic chambers as best as I recall; one was in bldg. 20 at MIT, due to be demolished and replaced soon with new buildings; the other one or two was at Penn State University main campus, and I think Honeywell may have one at their PA industrial controls division. The experience was very eerie, I did not enjoy it for very long. It reminded me of what some of the sensory deprivation chambers must be like, although I have never experienced them first-hand. I agree with Cage's analysis of the low sound being due to blood circulation, I think this is a pretty well known experience in AE chambers I think I recall discussing it with my chamber host. However, I think the high sound was more due to respiration; the nervous system makes no movement that I am aware of, and movement is required for sound, although subjective perceptions are another matter.
