Acoustic Office Pods Built for Speech Privacy—Not “Soundproof” Hype
ISO 23351-1 certified performance means voices drop outside the pod the way real offices need.
STC alone can’t tell you if words become unintelligible—speech privacy is the outcome that matters.
PrivacyPod is built for the outcome STC can’t guarantee: conversations become hard to understand outside, while calls stay clear inside.
ISO 23351-1 Speech Privacy
Open offices leak voices. PrivacyPod pods are engineered and tested to reduce speech intelligibility outside the enclosure—so confidential conversations stay private while nearby teams keep working.
Multi-Layer Wall System
Noise travels two ways. A dense multi-layer build (structural shell + acoustic foam + PET felt interior) limits sound transmission outward and absorbs reflections inward—clearer speech inside, less distraction outside.
Fresh Air, Quietly
High-throughput, brushless fans continuously replace stale air without adding background noise. Depending on pod size, the entire cabin refreshes roughly every 45–60 seconds while staying mic-friendly — so users stay focused and calls stay clear.
5 mm + 5 mm Laminated Glass
Many pods rely on single panes that resonate. Our laminated safety glass adds mass for better isolation and safer operation—while keeping the pod bright, open-feeling, and webcam-friendly.

Acoustic Office Pod FAQs
What is an acoustic office pod?
An acoustic office pod is a plug-and-play, room-within-a-room designed to make conversations hard to understand outside the pod while keeping voices clear inside. Think of it as an engineered acoustic system—not a furniture partition—built with sealed doors, multi-layer walls, interior acoustic surfaces, and integrated ventilation + power.
Are acoustic office pods actually soundproof?
Most “soundproof” office pods aren’t silent like a recording studio—and that’s okay. What offices actually need is speech privacy: people nearby might hear a faint murmur, but can’t understand the words.
The best way to compare pods is independent testing using a recognized standard—not marketing language. PrivacyPod acoustic office pods are designed around speech privacy outcomes and tested to ISO 23351-1, so you can evaluate real-world speech leakage performance instead of guessing from vague claims.
What does ISO 23351-1 mean for office pods?
ISO 23351-1 is a speech-focused test approach used to evaluate how much speech drops outside an office pod under controlled conditions. In plain English: it’s a way to compare pods on an apples-to-apples basis for what actually matters in offices—speech reduction and privacy.
PrivacyPod acoustic office pods are tested to ISO 23351-1 and engineered around two results:
- Lower speech intelligibility outside (so conversations stay discreet)
-Controlled interior acoustics (so voices sound natural on Zoom/Teams, not boomy)
What’s the difference between STC and speech privacy?
STC is a common single-number rating used for walls and partitions—but it doesn’t automatically tell you whether a conversation becomes unintelligible outside a pod. Two pods can show similar STC-style numbers yet perform differently for the real goal: speech privacy at typical office distances.
Speech privacy is outcome-based: it’s about reducing what people can understand, not just reducing “sound” in general. That’s why ISO 23351-1-style speech testing is so useful—it’s closer to how offices experience privacy.
How much noise reduction do I need for private calls?
For private calls, you don’t need “total silence”—you need speech privacy plus a clean interior so your mic picks up your voice, not echo. A good pod should make speech hard to understand outside while keeping the inside of the pod calm and natural for talking.
If you’re using pods for HR, interviews, or sensitive client conversations, prioritize:
- Speech privacy (words not intelligible outside)
- Low interior echo (better call clarity)
- Quiet ventilation (so airflow doesn’t fight your mic)
Where should I place acoustic pods in an open office?
Place acoustic office pods where people will actually use them—close to the teams with the most calls and focus work—while avoiding the noisiest, highest-traffic zones.
High-performing placements:
- Along the edges of open-plan seating (creates a natural “quiet zone”)
- Near sales/CS teams where call volume is constant
- In underused alcoves or widened corridors (great use of dead space)
- Near People/HR for private 1:1s that don’t justify booking a room
Avoid placing pods right next to break areas, printers, or main walkways unless you’re intentionally building a dedicated collaboration zone.
