Hello my name is Laszlo and we are going in this matteous cave which is under the Buda hill and I will teach you about caving. This cave is pitch dark and it is very very quiet. In a cold water cave the water is dropping and flowing everywhere so it is noisy but this one is very very quiet so just for five seconds we will switch off the lights and keep listening and if you open your eyes or keep them closed it is the same. You won't see anything. If you will hold your hand just in front of your face it is the same as if you are not doing it. If you don't move and you are just listening it is very very quiet so you cannot hear anything.
