The quietest room in the world is located in Minneapolis

Some consider it the quietest room on the planet, and it just happens to be located in Minneapolis. But that’s not all the room and its building are known for. In this week’s Finding Minnesota, John Lauritsen shows us why “silence is golden” at Orfield Laboratories.

This is NOT the only room like this you know. There are several.

Go Minneapolis!!!! Love my city.

[@kackmalwieder]

its my lifetime dream to be in a quiet environment. I am sure, I would break the record and stay there for hours and it will be the best experience of my life. That is a place where one can meet themselves. Most scary for some, most desireble for others. Wish I had to plans to build one? Well invested money...

Is there any way I can arrange a nap in that room? I bet you I could hear electronics working in that room after 10-15 minutes.

The quietest room is NOT where I live - nice to know it is quiet somewhere.
