The new ISO 23351-1 standard accurately measures the level of sound insulation of furniture ensembles, including semi-open and closed pods. Turku University of Applied Sciences recently completed a study in which the speech level reduction of Framery O and ten other best-selling office phone booths in the market were measured through this new industry standard. The study proves that Framery O has the highest level of performance of all the tested pods with a speech level reduction of 30.3 dB.

“A speech level reduction of 30 dB corresponds with the practical requirement of sound insulation,” explains Lasse Karvinen, Head of Products at Framery. “If the speech level reduction is lower and not this satisfactory, then the pod will have to be moved further away from the people working outside of them.” As a result, Framery pods save office space – other products with worse sound insulation parameters have to stand further from the workstations.
