John Cage visited an anechoic chamber at Harvard University.

约翰·凯奇参观了哈佛大学的消声室。

So make sure that your muffler is solid.

因此，请确保您的消声器是坚固的。

Do not go to the transmission store to fix your muffler.

不要去变速器商店修理你的消声器。

Without a giant  cosmic muffler between us and our closest star, what would we hear?

如果我们和最近的恒之间没有巨大的宇宙消声器，我们会听到什么？

But this is not an ordinary tank, this is what we call an anechoic tank.

但这并非普的储水池，而是我们所说的消声水池。

Without mufflers vehicles are pretty loud.

没有消声器的车辆声音很大。

Or like James, he put a special thing muffler on his car so it's really loud.

或者像那样，他在车上装了一个特别的消声器，让车变得非常吵闹。

So, I guess what he did ultimately was he shut down his muffler shop in 2002, and he held an auction.

所以， 我想他最终在2002年关闭了他的消声器店，并举办了一场拍卖会。

So an anechoic chamber's design is to reduce the amount of sound to just as absolute - close to absolute zero as possible.

因此，消声室的设计就是将声音量降低到尽可能绝对值——接近绝对零。

The guy who makes a YouTube channel showing off his silenced 50 caliber or whatever machine gun that he mounted to a truck.

那个在YouTube上开频道展示他装在卡车上的消声50口径机枪或其他什么机枪的人。

I feel like a lot of the sort of mainstream conversation about anechoic chambers is that it feels really freaky to be in them.

我觉得，关于消声室的很多主流讨论都让人觉得，待在里面真的很诡异。

Okay, so one of the kind of miraculous things about an anechoic chamber is it allows you to hear something that you can't hear outside of the chamber.

好的，消声室的一个神奇之处在于，它能让你听到在室外无法察觉的声音。

They came out and photographed him and gave him a, you know, an ad for his muffler shop, which it turns out wasn't enough to appease him, as we'll see.

他们前来为他拍摄了照片，并为他制作了一则广告，用于他的汽车消声器店，不过正如我们将看到的，这似乎并未能平息他的不满。
