Maybe an answer to the strange noises heard in a cave

It looks like NASA might have an answer to all the cavers who have claimed to hear or see odd things while in a cave alone or while waiting for a group to return. I know I personally have heard voices from my fellow cavers yelling to me in a cave from a distance only to find out no one was even talking. I am sure a lot of cavers have experienced similar things.
"What they've found is that when all outside noise is removed from an enclosure, human hearing will do its best to find something to listen to. In a room where almost 100% of sound is muted, people begin to hear things like their own heartbeat at a greatly amplified volume. As the minutes tick by in absolute quiet, the human mind begins to lose its grip, causing test subjects to hallucinate."
