I have never been in an anechoic chamber. I have fired guns and cherry
bombs out on the lake where there is nothing to echo from. Unfamiliar
flat sound. Not much echo from grass either.

I've never been in one, but have seen a couple when they were open. One
was at Ball Aerospace, the other at Lockheed Martin. They are used to
test space flight articles before launch.

We had one at Bell Labs and was really an eerie feeling being in there.
It was used while measuring sound output levels from our equipment for the
government


Which Bell Labs?

The one with the anechoic sound chamber I'm referring to was in Skokie, IL.
Now it's a shopping center?

Old Orchard?
Didn't even know about that Bell location.
Remember the Sunset drive-in on McCormack?

Not Old Orchard, further South in Skokie.

Yep, remember Sunset drive-in quite well. Many visits there in the back
seat of the car while in high school. 8)

2 bucks back in those days wasn't so cheep. Sometimes the thrills weren't
so thrilling.
