Privacy has 3 layers (we design for all of them)
Speech privacy: confidentiality that keeps conversations unintelligible outside the pod—even a few feet away.
Visual privacy: control sightlines and screen visibility with frosted or switchable privacy glass.
Behavioral privacy: reduce interruptions with occupancy indicators, and add optional locking handles for access control.
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.
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.
Privacy Glass Options (switchable or frosted)
Choose switchable privacy glass for on-demand visibility control (clear ↔ private in seconds), or frosted glass for always-on sightline protection that keeps the pod bright—ideal for HR/interviews, sensitive screens, hallway-facing placement, and everyday confidential work.
Occupancy Lights
Integrated occupancy lighting signals when the pod is in use—reducing walk-ups and interruptions during HR conversations, interviews, and focused work, especially in busy open offices.

Privacy Pod FAQs
What is a privacy pod (and how is it different from a phone booth)?
A privacy pod is an enclosed, plug-and-play room designed for confidential conversations—not just quick calls. Compared to a phone booth, privacy pods typically offer:
- More space options: from 1-person through 2–6 person rooms (so interviews, HR talks, and sensitive meetings feel “room-like,” not cramped).
- Stronger privacy features: designs tuned for speech privacy (so words aren’t intelligible outside), plus optional visual privacy (screens/sightlines).
- Privacy controls: options like occupancy indicators and locking handles for interruption control and access control.
In short: phone booths solve “where do I take this call?” Privacy pods solve “how do I have a confidential conversation—comfortably—without building a room?”
Are privacy pods actually soundproof?
Most pods in the market aren’t truly “soundproof” in the studio sense—and that’s okay. What buyers actually need is speech privacy: people nearby may hear a faint murmur, but can’t understand the words.
That’s why the most meaningful way to compare pods is independent testing, not marketing language. PrivacyPod privacy pods are independently tested to ISO 23351-1 and designed to deliver ~30 dB speech privacy with an echo-controlled interior—so conversations stay discreet outside the pod while voices remain clear inside.
How do you measure speech privacy in an office pod?
Speech privacy is measured by how much speech level is reduced outside the pod—and whether speech becomes unintelligible at typical office distances.
The key is using a recognized standard. ISO 23351-1 is an office-pod testing standard designed to evaluate real-world speech leakage performance in enclosed booths. It allows you to compare pods on an apples-to-apples basis (instead of relying on vague “soundproof” claims).
PrivacyPod pods are tested to ISO 23351-1 and engineered around two outcomes:
- Reduced speech transfer (so sensitive words don’t carry)
- Low interior echo (so voices sound natural on Zoom/Teams, not “boomy”)
What privacy pod is best for HR conversations and interviews?
For HR, interviews, counseling, and any conversation where confidentiality matters, pick based on session length + whether it’s 1:1 or small group:
- Best for most HR 1:1s + interviews (face-to-face): SL Pod / Arc SL Pod
Two-seat layout in a slim footprint—great for private conversations without needing a full meeting room.
- Best for longer, more comfortable 1:1 sessions: M Pod
More interior space and comfort for extended meetings, coaching, or sensitive check-ins.
- Best when HR needs a true “private room” feel (2–4 people): L Pod / L Pod Plus / Arc L Pod
Ideal for employee relations conversations, legal/finance discussions, or small confidential meetings.
- Best for larger confidential meetings (4–6): XL Pod
When you need “real meeting room” privacy—without construction.
Can I add visual privacy for screens and sensitive meetings?
Yes. If your use case includes screen privacy (documents, client data, HR files) or sensitive meetings where sightlines matter, add visual privacy options such as:
- Switchable privacy glass (privacy on-demand for interviews, HR talks, intake-style conversations)
- Frosted / sightline control (reduces visibility while keeping the space bright)
-Fabric back wall options (cleaner camera backdrop + less reflection; also helps with interior echo control)
Many teams pair visual privacy with occupancy indicators and an optional locking handle when confidentiality is critical.
Do you offer ADA-accessible privacy pods?
Yes. PrivacyPod offers ADA-focused configurations (for example L ADA Pod and XL ADA Pod) designed for inclusive, independent use, including features like:
- Low/ultra-thin threshold for easier roll-in access
-Wider entry + interior turning space (model-dependent)
-Reachable controls and user-friendly power access
- Options like automatic door opener/closer and touchless activation (where specified)
