Parents installed a soundproof cabin at home to let their daughter take online classes quietly

  A couple in Shanghai spent about 10,000 yuan to install a soundproof cabin in the living room to create a quiet environment for their daughter, who is in the eighth grade of junior high school, to take online classes. This practice has attracted attention due to the noise interference caused by the frequent renovations of neighbors. The soundproof cabin is equipped with a fresh air system, which can effectively block most of the noise without affecting the parents' home office.

  Public places and professional facilities

Airports and libraries: Some airports offer free soundproof booth, which are equipped with charging ports and fresh air systems to reduce external noise by 30 decibels; the University of Miami Library has added a soundproof study cabin to assist virtual meetings and focused learning.

  Office space: Companies like Xindehe use silence pod as telephone booths in shared office spaces to enhance privacy.

  Special demand scenarios

Live broadcast room and recording studio: Launch a sound-absorbing floor package with a soundproof cabin to reduce noise interference in live broadcasts; music producers remove the traditional soundproof layer and turn to headphones to work, reflecting the changes in soundproofing technology.

  Material and structure: usually adopt multi-layer sound insulation materials (such as sound insulation cotton, sound insulation felt), sound absorbing cotton and air layer design to achieve noise reduction by reflecting and absorbing sound wave energy. For example, Gree central air conditioner outdoor unit's "sound insulation cabin technology" combines three layers of sound absorbing cotton to compress noise.

  The incident also raised concerns about the design of home learning spaces. For example, some families transformed their living rooms into open study areas to promote parent-child interaction.
