From experience I can say that working in an anechoic chamber all day is no
problem. The simple reason is that the door will be open most of the time
while you are setting up, even if it's closed you are making your own noise
while working. You will be OUTSIDE the chamber while making measurements in
nearly all cases.
However every person who has never been in one always sits in it quietly for
10 minutes, just for the experience.
