 I'd try it out !

The Quietest Room on Earth
The world's quietest room is at Orfield Labs in Minneapolis. The room is so quiet that the background noise measures negative decibels, -9.4 dBA. A typical quiet bedroom measures at 30 dBA. Once inside the room, you can hear the sounds of your organs and after 30 minutes, you'll begin to hallucinate. The longest anyone has lasted inside this room is 45 minutes. 
So who wants to try it out?
