Can the office pods really provide sound insulation?

The office pods do have sound insulation properties, but the insulation is not "absolutely silent". Instead, it significantly reduces the transmission of both internal and external sounds through professional design. The specific effect depends on the structural design, material selection, and the usage scenario. ：

The sound insulation principle of Office pods: Blocking the "two paths of sound transmission"

Sound transmission requires a medium (air, solids, etc.). The core of Office pods lies in designing to cut off the main paths of sound transmission, which are divided into "air sound insulation" and "solid sound insulation" categories:

Isolation from air transmission: Blocking "sound spreading through air" Sound spreads through the air in the form of sound waves (such as external voices, traffic sounds, or internal phone sounds and keyboard noises).

Office pods prevent such transmission through the following design:

Sound-absorbing material filling: The interior walls and ceiling of the cabin will be covered with sound-absorbing materials such as polyester fiber cotton, glass wool, and sound insulation felt. These materials can "absorb" the energy of sound waves (rather than reflecting them), reducing the reflection and outward transmission of sounds within the cabin (for example, when someone speaks inside the cabin, the sound is absorbed by the sound-absorbing materials and does not reverberate or penetrate the outer shell).

The "silence" feature of Office Pods is relative. The actual experience varies depending on the situation, and it is necessary to avoid the expectation of "absolute silence":

External sound insulation (sound inside the pod does not disturb the outside): The effect is more noticeable. For example, making a phone call inside the pod (with a sound level of approximately 65 decibels), the sound heard from the outside can be reduced to below 35 decibels (similar to whispering while turning a book), which will not disturb the people working or studying around, and is suitable for scenarios such as offices, libraries, and homes that require "no interference" among each other.

Internal sound insulation (external noise does not affect the cabin): It can reduce but cannot completely block out. For example, the noise of traffic outside (about 75 decibels), the noise inside the cabin can be reduced to below 45 decibels (similar to the quietness of a bedroom).

It can meet the needs of focused work and online meetings; however, in the case of extreme noise (such as the sound of renovations or drills, or thunder), faint vibrations or sounds (about 50 decibels, similar to a soft version of normal speech) may still be heard.

Divo's Office pods are made with high-quality raw materials sourced from around the world, ranging from damping sound insulation felt to eco-friendly decorative panels. Every piece of raw material undergoes strict testing. Our production line is the result of countless repetitions and verifications of "stability" and "reliability".

Ultra-sealed, redefining boundaries:

Our Office Pod uses vehicle-grade sealing strips, acoustic laminated glass, a 5-layer sandwich acoustic module, and can reduce ambient noise by up to 30.1 decibels.

We have always placed great emphasis on the quality and green health of our products. We are not only the manufacturers of Office pods, but also the architects of deep work and peaceful life. It is no longer a traditional cold cubicle; instead, it is an efficient workstation that integrates modern design, ergonomics, and cutting-edge acoustic technology!
