sound booth

Acoustic isolation room

A sound booth is a small enclosed space designed to block external noise or prevent sound from escaping.

Recording studios use sound booths for vocals and voiceovers.

Interpreters work from sound booths at conferences.

Phone booths were early versions—semi-enclosed spaces for private conversation.

The podcast host recorded from a sound booth in her closet.
