Sep 10, 2015 at 20:20 comment added fabian789 Ah I see – I assumed from the screenshot that he recorded the entire session with a camera.
Sep 10, 2015 at 20:17 comment added Sklivvz @fabian789 the camera was off, the sound was being recorded through a microphone (it's a studio, after all)
Sep 10, 2015 at 20:11 comment added fabian789 But wouldn't the camera produce sounds as well?
Sep 7, 2015 at 10:36 comment added slebetman @CandiedOrange: Not on any place on the planet where there's wind or water or soil or sand of snow (all of which makes sound, albeit some of them very soft sounds). You'd need to be in space for total silence.
Sep 6, 2015 at 20:31 comment added Mark @CandiedOrange, the ocean has the sound of waves striking your boat and the ambient noise of the water, the desert has thousands of insects, and both have the wind. Between air pumps, water pumps, electronic hum, and other noises, a spacesuit is anything but quiet. In contrast, an anechoic chamber is truly silent, with your body as the only source of noise.
Sep 6, 2015 at 5:32 comment added candied_orange Never understood why being in an anechoic chamber would be different than being outside. How are sound absorbing walls different than no walls? Can't you experience the same silence in the middle of the ocean or the salt flats of utah? When astronauts go for a space walk is it only their radio's that keep them sane?
