A pair of optical cavities are designed and set up so as to be insensitive to both temperature fluctuations and mechanical vibrations. With the influence of these perturbations removed, a fundamental limit to the frequency stability of the optical cavity is revealed. The stability of a laser locked to the cavity reaches a floor <2x 10^{-15} for averaging times in the range 0.5-100\,s. This limit may be attributed to Brownian motion of the mirror substrates and coatings.
