    An anechoic chamber is designed to dampen echoes using specially shaped foam that absorbs high frequencies, and bounces low ones indefinitely until they are lost within the material. The world’s so-called quietest room is one of these chambers in Minneapolis, which prompted Derek to hop on over to Brigham Young University to test out theirs.
    According to many shared articles online, just 30 minutes in one of these rooms has been said to drive a person crazy. While this isn’t quite the world’s quietest room, it’s pretty close, so it’s time to put the theory behind insanity and quietness to the test.
