RE: The quietest place on earth: anechoic chamber


In the 1980's I was sent off to work at General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford MI where we installed and tested electronically controlled dynamometers and emissions testing equipment in a large anechoic chamber for automobiles.

In one application they use the chamber to bombard the vehicle with RF energy at varying frequencies and intensities to ensure that the vehicle electronics are not affected. You don't want your car to suddenly slam on the brakes or the electronics to shut down when passing by a communications tower.

The one at GM was much larger but similar with blue absorption cones
