Why Phone Booth Acoustics Matter in Corporate Offices & Co-Working
Acoustic performance in a phone booth directly impacts the functionality and occupant experience of corporate offices & co-working buildings. The RT60 target of ≤0.4s is set to ensure that the space meets its intended purpose, whether that involves speech intelligibility, noise control, or sound isolation from adjacent areas.
The key metric of STC 35+ addresses the primary acoustic concern for this room type. Achieving this target typically requires a combination of absorptive surface treatments, appropriate construction mass, and careful attention to flanking paths and HVAC noise contributions.
Achieving speech privacy in open-plan areas (STI < 0.50 beyond distraction distance) while maintaining clear communication in enclosed meeting rooms.
