How Soundproof Are Bureau Booths?

In the symphony of office chatter and ambient noise, finding moments of peace for focused work can feel like discovering a hidden gem. Thankfully, our Bureau booths offer just that, a quiet space in the middle of a bustling workplace for individuals to escape and get heads-down work done. However, while these office pods and modular meeting rooms block external noise, how soundproof are they really? Let’s explore the details.

Key takeaways

• Bureau booths are independently tested and certified for acoustic performance, not just marketed with a decibel figure
• Noise reduction ranges from 28dB NIC (Tuesday series) to over 30dB (Signature 2.0 series), depending on the model
• Booths are engineered to balance soundproofing with safety, so occupants can still hear fire alarms as required by building code
• Every booth ships with furniture, ventilation, and motion-activated power included as standard, with no extra wiring or permits needed

Noise Reduction Capabilities of Office Pods and Soundproof Booths

Although our Bureau booths boast impressive soundproofing capabilities, they are also designed with occupant safety in mind. For instance, building codes require that occupants must hear alarms, which ensures a safe working environment. As a result, our booths carefully balance office noise reduction and safety, offering peace of mind along with peace and quiet.

You’ve likely come across the term “decibels” when discussing soundproof booths. The exact figure depends on which Bureau model you choose. The Tuesday series achieves 28dB NIC, independently tested to ASTM E596, making it a strong, budget-friendly option for focused solo work. The Signature 2.0 series, which includes One, One+, Quad, Quad+, and Team, delivers greater than 30dB of noise reduction, independently certified by SGS. With this level of noise reduction, you can focus on your tasks without distractions from the outside environment, whichever model fits your space and budget.

The Benefits of Soundproof Office Pods and Meeting Rooms

Each Bureau Booth is specifically designed to deliver soundproofing for office spaces without compromising comfort or functionality. For example, from the compact private office pods like the ONE+ to the spacious TEAM model, our booths enhance both productivity and well-being.

Beyond their soundproofing abilities, Bureau offer a wide range of additional benefits:

1. Motion Activated Power: Conserve power easily with motion sensors that automatically turn the lights and fans on or off, optimizing energy usage.
2. High-powered Ventilation: Enjoy fresh air circulation every 2 to 3 minutes, maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the booth that matches the ambient environment.
3. Just Plug it In: Setting up your soundproof booth is a breeze, all it requires is a typical 3-prong outlet. No need for extra wiring or complex installations.
4. Furniture Included: Say goodbye to additional expenses, every soundproof phone booth comes with furniture included at no extra charge, ensuring a complete setup right out of the box.
5. Tempered Glass and Quality Components: All booths have 3/8″ thick glass and durable hardware, providing reliability and longevity.
