Everyone's a badass until the Cenobites show up.

There is a faction in 40K, which are somewhat like Cenobites. Basically hedonistic elves who will do Cenobite levels of shit to you.

In a novel one gets captured and instead of playing his game, his kidnappers deprive him of the one thing he craves: stimulation. He basically gets bored into submission.

This is like the quietest room on earth. Built to stop sound as much as possible, apparently it's so quiet you can hear your heartbeat. I think I remember the average ppl can stand it is like 12 minutes

Edit: I was wrong about time (30 mins), but the longest is about an hour. See bottom of the article.

That's all urban legend. The real reason no one stays in for more than half an hour is that the lab is busy and they need their anechoic chamber. Not for some rando to just hang out inside of.
