You can actually go all day long hearing no man made noise at all.

Believe me, that is heaven for me. I am turning more and more into a total sono-phobe.

I was working in an anechoic chamber a few months ago at a customer's location and I was just thinking 'ah, I'd love to call this my bedroom' when the guy said 'isn't it really freaky in here!'.

You'll have to come and visit then. It's not quite like the chamber; my dad had one, that was freaky because it even ate noise you made -- here there are reflective things around. But it's awful close most of the time. People with tinnitis complain, because there's nothing to drown it out, and it bugs them more than usual. The honda is about 55db, you can hear it, but it's all LF at about 30 hz (frequency depends on how hard the engine is working at the moment).
