Post Subject: Some observations regarding Sauna and SoundPosted by Romy the Cat on: 3/2/2012

I have been using my new sauna for a week and here are the observations that I came across so far. It is all depend of the conditions. If the sauna has temperature under 200-210 Fahrenheit and humidity around 10% then sound is tolerable in there. I would say that it is not overly desirable but if it is there then it does not bother. I happen that I do like to hear my NPR or BBC radio in my sauna. I do not listen it attentively but if it was here than it did not bother me. I did try music but there was not listening engagement between me and music so it was pretty much irrelevant. As the temperature hits 210 Fahrenheit or higher, of even the temperature is ~210F but humidity let say 20% then any sound or even noise become repulsive. With higher temperature I would like to have absolute silence. I wonder if anode in vacuum tube has the same feeling….?
