The quietest place on Earth is an anechoic chamber at Orfield
Laboratories in Minnesota.
The space is so quiet that the longest anybody has been able to bear
it was an entire 45 minutes.

Dr. Simon Hundeshagen @shundeshagen
This nonexistence of all ambient sound is creating a sensory vacuum
that's deeply unsettling to the human brain. In this silence, you
begin to hear your own body in unnerving detail: your heartbeat, the
gurgle of digestion, even the friction of your joints. This extreme
auditory isolation overwhelms the vestibular system and the brain's
spatial orientation mechanisms, which rely on subtle sound cues to
interpret balance and environment. Without external stimuli, the brain
begins to hallucinate sounds and sights to fill the void - similar to
sensory deprivation tanks, but more disorienting. Prolonged exposure
can cause a loss of equilibrium, nausea, and panic, as your body
fights to re-anchor itself in a space where it can no longer "hear"
its place in the world.
