Inside one of the quietest rooms in the world, host Rachel Feltman
meets artist-in-residence Seth Cluett at the historic anechoic
chamber at Bell Labs to explore the science of silence and sound
perception. From popping balloons in total silence to hearing your
own nervous system, we dive into psychoacoustics, audio innovation
and the emotional impact of sound design. Along the way, we uncover
how Bell Labs shaped everything from stereo audio to the voice of
HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Science Quickly is a Signal Awards
