Eggs6131 tells us more.
For all the people who don't get it, my brother recorded about a minute's worth of silence on his little MP3 player, so he could listen to said recording at full volume. He thought if he listened to this recording of nothingness on a loop at full volume, it would make his earphones act like earplugs, cancelling out any noise made. #8, still laughing at that "I'm sorry? I can't hear you for all this silence blasting in my ears". #22, he's fifteen :

I hear an idiot.
I guess he's talking about burning in headphones but mistook playing white noise for playing silence
That's still stupid because burning in headphones makes then sound better, not improve their noise blocking.
But with his "improved" headphones he can't hear you.
Hey don't knock it until you try it. What if he is right, then what?
the laws of sound and motion, for every action their is a reaction. hence the tree fell and it made noise hitting the ground.
oh congrats on finally finishing your 5th grade science worksheet #72
Wait, what did anyone say about falling trees being silent?
But you'll go on to college and he'll still be stuck at home with his experiments
Tell him if he talks with them on, his mom can't hear him. That should be fun to watch.
Or farting in public/ taking a loud shut on a public toilet.
I had to read that a few times. .. wtf?
Yeah me too, I really don't understand what his brother was thinking.
lol, same here
WTF = Why the face?
Haven't you ever heard that the silence is deafening? Sounds to me like your brother is an idiot.
I could have sworn that was going to end with "genius".
Please never say that again.
I know it's from a movie and everything but I try to refrain from saying "retard". I used to say that all the time, but I dated this girl who's brother was a little special. She pretty much trained me to stop using that term. It's pretty damn rude for someone to say such a thing, I was young and dumb, but I grew out of it. It's just something people should realize it's not a word you just toss around. Trust me, my vocabulary is anything but clean, that's just something I'll never say anymore. Not trying to patronize you or anything, just giving you my input.
Perhaps you lost the moral high ground when you referred to the little brother as being 'a little special'? Where I come from that is just as patronizing as saying 'retard'...
I never said I was an upstanding citizen with morals that reach the sky. And I wasn't criticizing anyone. Like I did say, I know it's from a movie and I wasn't trying to come off as a self righteous twat. I don't know what galaxy you're from but I never thought "special" and "retard" were on par with one another. I ain't here to tell you what's wrong or what's right because I'm no prime example myself, I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in there.
Or you live with someone whose logic and reasoning skills are so advanced that we ordinary people can't understand.
"I'm sorry! I can't hear you over the silence blasting in my ears." yah that makes totally sense.....
it makes TOTALLY sense.
oh bah, I had just woke up and I combined "that makes total sense" and "that totally makes sense". My mistake for commenting before I was awake
And now that I think about it, that's like saying "Turn the tv up! I can't see it...."
Well see in my house that means my moms trying to pay attention to the news but she's cooking in the kitchen and can't see the tv...
Where's the problem? It would work with monitors and colors you don't like to see: Using them with full power makes this colors burn out (on CRTs). Maybe this thing works with headphones, too? (Of course there are better ways to archive these effects.)
Yes; like a filing system.
Nova - Raising the volume of nothing gets you more nothing, is that what you're saying?
There are nearly always background noises.
Are you by any chance OP's brother?
