isolation booth

Soundproof private chamber

An isolation booth is a small soundproofed enclosure used to separate a person from their surroundings.

In recording studios, vocalists or instruments are placed in isolation booths to prevent sound bleeding between tracks.

The term gained fame from game shows where contestants entered booths to prevent them from hearing questions asked of others: The contestant waited nervously in the isolation booth.
