    Anechoic chambers are all like this, they’re utterly soundproof rooms. They’re also supposedly only something humans can stay inside for short time periods because it gets uncomfortable when you start to realise you can hear the blood travelling through your own veins because of how silent it is.

    This one is set up for whatever the job of this antenna is. I don’t know enough about the antenna to comment on it.

        Yes exactly. This is a room to test for signals, wanted or unwanted coming out of the devices to be tested. I know nothing about it so don’t spy on me please lol.

      It’s true! I’ve been in one and it was uncanny as hell. I’ve also been in an echoic chamber where the tiniest little footstep or w/e echoes and echoes and echoes
