Our facilities manager wants to buy soundproof privacy booths for our open-plan layout, but I’m worried about safety. If I’m inside an acoustic office pod with my headphones on, will I still be able to hear the building’s fire alarm?
High-quality commercial office pods are engineered with strict workplace safety codes in mind, meaning they drop external chatter but don't block out emergency signals. Most modern privacy booths feature a dedicated ceiling punch-out or port where your building's master strobe light or fire alarm system can be wired directly inside.
Even without a direct hardwire connection, a standard fire alarm operates at an incredibly loud 85 to 100 decibels, which easily cuts through the pod’s acoustic glass insulation to keep you fully aware of any building evacuation.
