Unilad World Record Attempt for Being Quiet!

On the morning of the 28th October 2016 UNILAD visited the Acoustic Laboratory of London South Bank University. Rio Fredrika was attempting to break the record for the longest solo stay in an anechoic chamber. After a lot of neurotic behaviour and displacement activity she lasted 66 minutes which is a record and Rio had a new hair style! Here's the video link
