In today’s dynamic work culture, where open-plan offices dominate, providing employees with a quiet environment is becoming an increasing challenge. Constant noise, background chatter, and frequent distractions can significantly reduce productivity and the ability to concentrate. One solution is to offer remote work, but it can reduce team collaboration and raise questions about productivity. A more effective solution for the office is the soundproof booth – a practical and innovative tool that gives employees a space for undisturbed, focused work.

What Is a Soundproof Booth?


A soundproof booth (also known as an acoustic pod, quiet room, or office phone booth) is a specially designed space that offers excellent sound insulation. These enclosed units are ideal for various work activities – from phone calls and video meetings to deep-focus tasks. They’re built to block out surrounding noise and provide a private, distraction-free environment where employees can concentrate.

For example, our OfelosBox models are designed to deliver top-level acoustic comfort while maintaining fresh air circulation and an optimal indoor climate for work.



Benefits of Soundproof Booths in the Office Environment


  1. Boosted Productivity - Noise in the workplace is one of the biggest disruptors of focus and well-being. Studies show that employees who have access to a quiet work environment report higher levels of productivity and concentration. A sound-insulated booth creates the ideal space for employees to fully focus on their tasks, leading to better performance.


  1. Flexible Use - These mobile work booths can easily be relocated and adapted to different office setups. Whether you need a space for a team meeting, a phone call, or a quiet place to prepare an important presentation, a soundproof booth offers maximum flexibility.


  2. Privacy in Open-Plan Offices - Open-plan offices encourage communication, but they often lack privacy. A quiet booth provides a space where employees can hold confidential calls or meetings without being interrupted.


  3. Improved Office Acoustics - By absorbing surrounding noise, a soundproof booth enhances the overall acoustics of the office. This benefits not only the person inside but also their colleagues outside, contributing to a more pleasant work environment.


  4. Quick Installation and Low Maintenance - Installing these booths is simple and doesn’t require major construction. Our OfelosBox is designed to be portable and ready to use right away, saving both time and money. On top of that, maintenance is minimal – another big win for any company budget.


Who Are Soundproof Booths Ideal For?


Soundproof booths are suitable for virtually any work environment, but they’re especially useful for:


  • Open-Plan Offices - Employees in open offices often struggle with excessive noise. A booth offers a quiet retreat where they can focus and work without distractions.


  • Call Centers and Customer Support Teams - For teams that need to handle phone calls without interruptions, soundproof cabins are the perfect fit. They help maintain clear communication and improve call quality.


  • Creative and Marketing Teams - Creative work demands deep focus. Acoustic booths provide a calm space where employees can think freely, brainstorm, and bring ideas to life.


  • Managers and Team Leaders - For one-on-one meetings or confidential conversations, these booths are a great alternative to traditional meeting rooms. They offer privacy without the need to book a space in advance.


  • Consulting Companies - Whether you're discussing sensitive topics or onboarding clients, a private meeting pod allows for full discretion. No need to reserve a conference room or head to a noisy café — your conversations remain 100% confidential.
