00:29This room is so large, it's diffused anywhere inside the black line.

00:50We have a woman there right now that is basically an STC 65.

00:54What you see here in the black line is the limit of this room, in order to be able to measure it, is 20 hertz per hour.

01:04Now, the original intention was, we were going to measure some of the high downstairs,

01:10so the biggest human being able to measure up all of these today,

01:14and the earth time at 25 hertz is 37.

01:18Okay.

01:24Because every time I do a test in this place, no matter what it is,

01:28it's a minimum of one gigabyte to one and a half gigabytes of data.

01:32What you're looking at right now is the turbine building, where they made the electricity.

01:42Right now this is set up for a diffusion test, and what we're doing is we're bombarding the sound from up there,

01:49coming down, and then we're looking at the first order reflections.

01:53I was really quite surprised finally we actually measured them.

01:56But yeah, it's right around 20 hertz.

01:58So we can do subs in here and everything.

02:01I watched it being built many, many years ago.

02:04And my first thought was, I need some place inside of a mountain.

02:08I was actually going to cut into a mountain.

02:10And then I was passing by it, and Bonnie said, well, have you ever thought about that place up there?

02:14Why?

02:15She said, well, it's really heavy.

02:17So I drove up here, and they said, yeah, they opened it up as a business park, and could I look at it?

02:23Well, let's see.

02:2420 feet of concrete can be at least as good as a build site is for keeping it stable, temperature-wise.

02:30It's kind of fun.

02:31I've been here at 2 o'clock in the morning, and there's 150 holes in this floor that are standing

02:42right now.

02:43And all of them go 40 feet straight down.

02:45Now, how safe is it?

02:47Well, we've driven a porpoise in here, so not to worry about too much.

02:50Thank you very much.

02:51Thank you very much.
