    define “make a sound”. Because a human makes sound lying perfectly still on the floor holding their breath. If the noise floor of the room is low enough you can detect someone’s heartbeat with sensitive enough audio equipment.

    If I’m really going for it, maybe a day or two. Sad reality is my hair brained self would probably forget in that time, or just make my “impulse express sounds” ie. whistling, little exclamations, singing, without even trying.

    I could probably go 24 hours. 16 if sleep talking counts

    Can I fart? Chew loudly? What about the feminine sound of my piss hitting the urinal?

    If I’m not with my boyfriend, I could go a day. Maybe.

    I think I could last a couple days, maybe 4 at the most? I’m a fairly quiet person.

    Does this include footsteps and/or talking? Or stuff that causes noise – like flushing the toilet?

    Good question. I am a quiet person in general. But if I hang around my extroverted friends, I won’t last an hour.

    Well about as long as it is between now and when my shift starts I work customer service so have to talk for a living 

  20. Square_Thing_284 Avatar

    A few minutes. The sheer anxiety of the inevitable would make me panic and I’d probably wail cry immediately

    Maybe 10 min. It’s habit to talk to my pets. Kids, etc

    A few seconds. I have a chronic cough and sinus problems, on top of the pain and fatigue.
