There is a room somewhere in the world designed to be perfectly silent. Some people can't stand being in there for even a minute. I think it's because we all have latent tinnitus (a constant ringing in the ear) when it is really quiet. That sound if we are not used to it can quite drive us nuts. I myself have a mild form of tinnitus, but it no longer disturbs me much if at all. But when I first had it, that was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.
