If you want to see how the Chess challenge for Brendan turned out, we've uploaded it here now! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLVxlqeW0bOlmY0.html

“Spent 2 hours in silence” Me, an introvert: Those are rookie numbers my dude

This dude really just turned my depression into a hobby..

Music helps when you work on something you've already done before. Silence helps when you're trying to concentrate and learn something new.

When he learns about noise cancelling headphones, he’ll flip

Silence in nature is even better.

I spend 8 hours every day in silence...when i sleep

Always look forward to a goal guys video

Great video, thanks for reminding me how important quiet is. I remember reading about a woman who imposed a daily hour of quiet on her entire household and she said it really developed calm and discipline in her home.

"be still and know that I am God"

I have been doing this for so many years and I have the ability to have extreme visions. When people tell me to wait, I am very happy because I can go into my own world. If your one of these people then you know what I'm talking about.

You should do a 30 day or 60 day sprinting challenge and test your 100m sprint at the start and finish if the challenge like you did with the mile

Guys this was really cool! I’ve always struggled with being quiet but this journey was super interesting to follow! Keep up the dope content

For those of you interested in the playlist that I used for the test in this video, I just posted the full thing here for you guys to try out! Hope you guys find it helpful 👍 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oteHZMWlv8msaJs.html

Always silent and more focus late night before bed. Since no distractions and pressure to get things done before bed.

Just gonna throw out there that the way you inserted those earplugs you aren't getting 29 decibels of reduction, you gotta compress them, put them further down the ear canal and let them expand.

do DMT for 30 days

This video was so interesting on such a different topic- thank you for creating something so out of the box!

This is pretty much a dream for an introvert. 12 hours of silence is ideal for me.

Your challenges are always intelligent and worthwhile. Truly an inspiring KZfaq channel. Love you guys.

Underrated channel

Awesome video, dude. Keep up the amazing work!!

When your deaf and didn't know complete silence actually helps you.

i love how interesting your videos are, seeing the process of learning/ trying something new over an extended amount of time is very compelling

You’re such a creative person , either you spend ours in silence or not

I went to a camp this summer that had a mandatory quiet hour and it was pretty fun to do. We did get to hike or listen to music but I still think that little bit of forced silence was super beneficial each day. Great video!

Thank you for doing these videos!!

I enjoy quiet as often as possible! Thanks for this video!!

Thanks for this video man. Very well made! Gonna try this myself.

High Schoolers: have you heard of the ACT

Incredible video! Keep up the great work!

Before your time my dude, I've been watching you for a few years and I love that your content is coming up more and more! LOVELOVE

He has to call it silence for people to listen to his logic. It's meditation, and yes, the top 5% do this pretty much every morning

i spent 10 hours in silence every day for 18 years

Great study! Thank you for helping me acknowledge how loud noise is..I love controlled silence, with the aid of earplugs...

Love these videos so much!

Another high quality video 👌

Next video: Chess Challenge!!!! Wow, am excited 😊😊😊

That´s a lot of time to listen to the voices in your head. You are brave, sir.

Great video man keep it up

Cool video. Love those sensory deprivation tanks..

what are the sand man 1 and 2 novels there? i have tons of the regular graphic novels but am curious about those to books? lmk thx.

Really liked this video a lot. I"ve been meaning to check out a sensory deprivation tank. Thank you for another great, informative video.

Very inspiring. Thank you!

2019 brings to me so much good DIY blogers with amazing quarlity! I can advice to sleep with earplugs, this is amazing experience. Sorry for my english, hello from Russia!

Who else tried to wipe the black dot on the left at the start off

Very interesting video! Thanks.

This is such an amazing practice. I started this self discipline at a behavioral modification center and love it , it's called MONAD. MOUTH ON NON ACTIVE DUTY. Staying silent during the normal rush of the day...

Living in New York, having a younger sibling, and not having anything that cancels sound, makes this impossible.

Damn, I never speak its been like that for 4 years, I'm sure introverts can relate.

I loved the experiment! 👏🏻😘 Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your experience, very useful! Cheers :)

Wait people don't do this normally?

I've always wanted to try a sensory deprivation tank!

So useful! Thanks

I wish i could do complete silence but I just feel ringing in my ears all the time. You are lucky guys if can do it.

I spent 30 hours in silence for 2 days, here’s what happened

I realized the value of silence several months ago. I'm a programmer who works from home and realized listening to heavy metal or rap made solving hard problems more difficult, so I started listening to that lofi crap... then I just got bored of pretty much all music and was like "fuck it, I'll just turn it all off" and suddenly I was popping off. I started working through the night specifically because the daytime was so loud (with kids, neighbors, cars driving by, people knocking, etc.) and was getting a ton of quality work done. Unfortunately I also stayed up all day out of necessity (kids, meetings, etc.)... And now I'm pretty sure I did permanent damage to my brain by doing this for a couple months. But yeah, nowadays I frequently wish I was actually deaf-deaf and will frequently wear noise-cancelling headphones with absolutely no sound coming from them (doing this right now actually), just to make the world stfu a little. I'm pretty sure society sucks more than it's good. You and your wife should do a "Walden Challenge" and find a cabin or something to live in for 30 days where you have to farm honey and go fishing and such... Stare at the stars and getting eaten up by bugs and all that.

How does this channel not have million subs

Big fan of this idea. Great video. I've been using ear muffs at work that are for hearing protection.

Awesome I didn't know you guys are from Toronto as well!

Great video as always :D Well, I'd like to try the playlists with the silence tracks too. Normally I listen to LoFi Tracks (+ Rainy Mood) sometimes. I think a Spotify playlist or youtube playlist with empty tracks and without ads would be perfect... yeah but difficult to do that I think.

Very interesting Brendan. Oh how I’d love to have some complete silence!!! Unfortunately I have tinnitus; not severe but enough to always need some type of sound to not dwell on the buzzing. Thankfully I sleep very well.

I spent 6 hours in silence every day for 15 years now i am enlighten

20 minutes of meditating everyday for 30 days? Practicing a martial art for 30 days? Both of you learning know how to run a marathon?

If you guys didn't know... If the whole earth had no light at all At night we would be able to see all the planets 🤓

Okay this is going to make massive views good job guys

I rarely comment on videos... But: awesome work. Really enjoy your content!

Ah, and this is the crux of the issues for people with chronic tinnitus, it is never, ever quiet!

This just makes me sad cause i spend more time in silence without even trying.

Thanks for sharing, Great video 💎👏👏🌞🕊. Im doing it for Spiritual& healing purpose. SILENCE.

Nice video, I'm really interested in those playlists!

Use me as a “why is this on my recommend” button

lol all fun in games until someone rob him and he doesn’t know.

Great video! Do you have a link to purchase the pic on the wall at 6:30? Love it!

Such quality content

It's kind of funny but when I spent a month in the amazon jungle the noise animals, birds and especially insects constantly are making was the equivalent of living next to a freeway.

So did you get any hallucinations in the tank?

This video relaxed me. And I was playing it at 2x the speed.

Great stuff. Exciting to see the care for silence, noise reduction etc. starting to get awareness! 👍🏼 I am a musician since 45 years and a sound engineer since 30 years. I could never do homework or similar stuff while music was playing. It always absorbed too much attention so I couldnt concentrate. Vice verca I can concentrate 100% on my work, if the work is music ;-) I also started using earplugs a few years ago. I adore the silence so much I even added sound protection headphones so I had 2 times 28 db noise reduction. Listening to the inner body sounds might need a bit of time to get used to it, but I consider it really enjoyable. It always puzzled me why people pay much more attention to visual "noise" (dirt, untidy rooms etc.) than to acoustic noise or bad acoustics or how people can spend "relaxing time" in loud restaurants etc. ... well, we are all unique characters ;-) .... side note: SO funny to see her toes going crazy at 8:37 😂

Really enjoyed this one. What a unique and interesting topic!

You forgot that millennials are also the most depressed and totally damaged.

This makes a lot of sense to me, I seem to have significant hearing gain and stress relief in the fall because i spend an average of 5 to 6 hours every day in the woods hunting, where the majority of the time it is very quiet almost silent. I kinda just thought I was crazy but this makes me realize, I may have been onto something there XD

Love your videos. Would noise cancellation headphones work for this challenge?

thumbnail looks like a Bradley Martyn but thinner

I wear ear plugs all the time on the bus, walking down the street, in the movies, in the grocery. People think I’m weird but I know it improves my mental health.

Toronto is LOUD!!! Every restaurant, bar etc you go to seems to want to blast music at you. I've been craving silence a lot lately. I'm glad you found this was helpful for you. I might try out Float. I've been apprehensive as I thought it was a smaller container...like of coffin. lol. I get a little claustrophobic.

I am watching this video without sound as i do not want to wake up my dad. I can imagine the sound when the keyboard is being tapped and the cars, pedestrians walking. my brain "created" these sounds to fill in the gap not to mention the voice as i read the subtitles.

When’s the next workout challenge video coming??

9:32 she said she always has “BBC” like what!?😂😂

Great video

woah gnarly, great video

I spent 7 hours a day in silence for 12 years and still failed my GCSE’s

I couldn't do this. Total silence for long period of time makes me anxious and sometimes i go into a panic

That was great seeing the difference between people.

Awesome video :-)

Hello! I am just really curious if these experiences/experiments triggered any overthinking or anxiety? I am planning to do things like these and be so productive but I have overthinking issues. Thank you in advance! 😊

Finally, someone thinks that noise is pollution too.

Thanks for the study results.

Hi bro where did you buy the earplugs you used in this video? Thanks.
