isolation chamber
Sealed quiet space
An isolation chamber is an enclosed space designed to block external stimuli—light, sound, temperature variation, or sensory input generally.
The term covers scientific equipment like sensory deprivation tanks (flotation tanks filled with saltwater) and soundproofed rooms used in psychology experiments.
It also applies to medical containment units that isolate patients from pathogens or protect immunocompromised individuals from outside contamination: The patient was placed in an isolation chamber after exposure to the virus.
