Abstract

Sitting in the enveloping quietness of an anechoic chamber, or other quiet spot, you soon become aware that the ear makes its own distinctive sounds. Whistling, buzzing, hissing, perhaps a chiming chorus of many tonesï¿½such continuous sounds seem remarkably nonbiological to my perception, more in the realm of the electronic.
