Group tours to start at the quietest place on Earth in Minneapolis
Group tours to start at the quietest place on Earth in Minneapolis
It’s known as the quietest place on Earth, and soon you’ll be able to check it out.
Starting next week, Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis will begin new group tours of its quiet chamber. The company says its chamber can help soothe people with everything from autism to dementia to PTSD.
The tours cost $75. Five people will be in the chamber for one hour; no talking is allowed, and the lights will be off.
“We would like people to have the individual experience of going into a quiet place and observing in themselves the therapeutic benefits,” Emma Orfield Johnston with Orfield Laboratories said. “We’d also just like to give people a moment of peace.”
The quiet chamber at Orfield Laboratories was designed to test the acoustics of consumer products.

Man sentenced to over 13 years for north Minneapolis homicide
A man has been sentenced to prison after a homicide in north Minneapolis earlier this year.
On Thursday, Marvin Dancy, 46, was sentenced to over 13 years (166 months) in prison for a shooting that killed 21-year-old Wence Edwards.
In November, Dancy pleaded guilty to second-degree unintentional murder and a separate count of illegal firearm possession was dismissed.
As previously reported, Minneapolis police responded to a shooting on Feb. 6 at the Handy Stop convenience store on the 2600 block of Broadway Avenue West.
Officers at the scene found a man, later identified as Edwards, in the alley behind the gas station with a life-threatening gunshot wound. Edwards died at the scene, MPD officials said.
“Mr. Dancy is being held accountable for his actions,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Edwards’ family as they grieve their immense loss.”
