Soundproofing for open-plan offices: What really helps in everyday life
Soundproofing in open-plan offices is no longer a marginal issue, but rather a crucial prerequisite for effective collaboration and concentration in the same space. Open offices foster a sense of community, promote rapid communication, and facilitate daily coordination. At the same time, they also create precisely the kind of distraction that many find particularly tiring: speech. This isn't necessarily due to a consistently high noise level, but rather because snippets of conversation, customer calls, spontaneous questions, or video meetings constantly demand attention and interrupt focus.
At this point, soundproofing in open-plan offices is often considered too narrowly. It's not just about making the entire space quieter. More importantly, it's about separating communication and focused work in such a way that both can function effectively simultaneously. Conversations aren't inherently disruptive – they're a part of everyday office life. The crucial factor is whether there's a suitable place for them. If phone calls are made at workstations, sensitive topics are spontaneously discussed in the office, and short conversations are unnecessarily moved to meeting rooms, this affects the entire space. Therefore, good soundproofing doesn't rely on prohibitions or rigid rules, but on solutions that noticeably improve daily life.

What soundproofing in an open-plan office must achieve
Soundproofing in the office doesn't have to mean complete silence. That would be neither realistic nor sensible. What's more important is moving conversations, calls, and sensitive coordination meetings further away from the room so that they significantly reduce their impact on the workspace. Even this simple change makes a noticeable difference in everyday work.
Good soundproofing in an open-plan office therefore improves several things simultaneously:
less speech-related distractions in the open area
better concentration for everyone who wants to work with focus
more privacy for conversations that shouldn't be conducted openly
more available meeting rooms for actual meetings
When communication has a suitable location, the overall space becomes more usable. Individual calls no longer automatically occur at workstations, brief coordination meetings are less disruptive, and focused work becomes more predictable.

Which solution really works in open-plan offices
When conversations are the main problem, they need their own dedicated space. This is the practical benefit of HUUS Boxes. They take conversations, calls, video calls, and confidential discussions out of the open-plan area and create a clear space for them in the office. This effect extends not only within the box itself, but across the entire office space.
A HUUS Box is therefore not simply a retreat. It becomes an integral part of a well-functioning open-plan office. Fewer ongoing conversations in the room mean fewer interruptions. Fewer spontaneous workarounds mean more peace and quiet. When sensitive topics or hybrid meetings have a suitable space, the quality of collaboration also improves.
Which box is suitable for which situation?
Not every disruption in an open-plan office requires the same response. Depending on the daily situation, a more nuanced approach is worthwhile.
HUUS One is particularly suitable for offices where regular one-on-one calls, video calls, or short focus periods take place that shouldn't happen at the workstation. The box creates a compact retreat for one person and helps to remove recurring interruptions directly from the open workspace.
HUUS Call is particularly suitable for situations where calls are frequent or where privacy and professional call conditions are paramount. It is especially relevant for work environments where communication is a significant part of the day and where conversations need to be deliberately shielded.
HUUS Meet is particularly useful where small meetings, one-on-ones, interviews, or hybrid meetings require a dedicated space. Instead of booking a large meeting room each time or conducting conversations in an open-plan area, an additional collaboration space is created directly within the building.
This division is particularly valuable in open-plan offices. It allows for the addition of the solution that provides the most relief in daily practice, depending on the needs.
Top-Rated Ergonomics
In which situations is this particularly important?
In open-plan offices, there are typical situations where soundproofing becomes particularly relevant. This is where booths and cubicles demonstrate their greatest benefit.
These include, above all:
Telephone calls and longer calls that shouldn't take place at a desk
Video calls where quiet and clarity are important
Confidential discussions about HR, feedback, or sensitive customer topics
Short one-on-one meetings
Interviews, job interviews, or periods of focused work between meetings
This versatility is crucial. Effective soundproofing in open-plan offices should not only cover isolated exceptional situations but also reliably address regularly recurring requirements in everyday work.
What you should pay attention to when making your selection
Anyone wanting to improve sound insulation in an open-plan office should not only consider the basic principle, but also its actual usability. A soundproof booth only provides noticeable relief if it is used regularly.
The following points are particularly important:
Acoustics: Conversations need to be more clearly separated from the room.
Ventilation: The box must remain comfortable even during prolonged use.
Lighting: Good conditions are needed for calls, video meetings and focused work.
Connections: Power and suitable connections must be directly available.
Ergonomics: The solution must be comfortable and practical to use in everyday life.
At HUUS, these points are considered from the perspective of everyday use. What matters is not just what is technically possible, but whether its use in daily work functions seamlessly. A storage unit must be designed so that it can be used spontaneously and quickly feels natural. Only then does it provide the relief that is truly noticeable in an open-plan office.
Why HUUS boxes are particularly useful in open-plan offices
Soundproofing without renovation
When soundproofing in open-plan offices really improves
The greatest impact comes when a solution becomes routine. Those who make phone calls go to the designated booth. Those who discuss sensitive topics do the same. Those who want to work in a focused manner for a period of time have a clearly defined retreat. This doesn't create an additional rule, but rather a better workday.
This is where good sound insulation in an open-plan office comes in. Not in the idea of complete silence, but in a space where communication and focus can coexist more effectively. Fewer distractions, more concentration, more privacy – and an office that fosters collaboration without wasting energy every day.
Open-plan office soundproofing: practical for everyday use instead of theoretical.
If you want to improve sound insulation in an open-plan office, it's worth looking at the actual disturbances in everyday life. Usually, it's not just a general ambient noise level that's the problem, but rather speech, calls, and a lack of quiet spaces. That's why HUUS speakers are so effective in open-plan offices: they bring communication out of the open area without requiring any office renovations.

FAQ zu Schallschutz im Großraumbüro
Warum ist Schallschutz im Großraumbüro besonders wichtig?
In einem Großraumbüro finden viele Tätigkeiten gleichzeitig statt: konzentriertes Arbeiten, Telefonate, Videocalls und spontane Abstimmungen. Ohne passende Rückzugsorte überlagern sich diese Nutzungen schnell. Schallschutz hilft dabei, Kommunikation räumlich besser von Fokusarbeit zu trennen.
Welche Geräusche lenken im Großraumbüro besonders stark ab?
Nicht nur die allgemeine Lautstärke ist entscheidend. Vor allem verständliche Sprache kann Aufmerksamkeit binden – etwa Gespräche am Nachbartisch, Kundencalls oder Videomeetings. Deshalb lohnt es sich, gerade sprachintensive Tätigkeiten aus offenen Arbeitsbereichen herauszunehmen.
Wie lassen sich Telefonate aus dem Großraumbüro heraushalten?
Einzelboxen schaffen einen festen Ort für Calls und Videokonferenzen. Mitarbeitende müssen dadurch nicht erst nach einem freien Besprechungsraum suchen und können Gespräche direkt aus der offenen Fläche verlagern.
Welche HUUS Box eignet sich für Einzelcalls im Großraumbüro?
HUUS One und HUUS Call sind für eine Person ausgelegt. Sie eignen sich für Telefonate, Videocalls und individuelle Fokusphasen. Die HUUS Call ist innerhalb des HUUS Sortiments als Premium-Telefonbox positioniert.
Welche Lösung eignet sich für kleine Besprechungen im Open Space?
Wenn mehrere Personen gemeinsam sprechen sollen, sind Meetingboxen wie HUUS Four oder HUUS Meet geeigneter. Sie schaffen einen separaten Bereich für kurze Team-Meetings, 1:1s oder hybride Besprechungen, ohne dafür einen großen Konferenzraum zu blockieren.
Braucht jedes Großraumbüro Telefon- und Meetingboxen?
Nicht zwingend. Entscheidend sind Teamgröße, Gesprächsaufkommen und vorhandene Besprechungsräume. In Büros mit vielen Einzelcalls können zunächst kompakte Telefonboxen den größten Effekt haben. Finden zusätzlich regelmäßig kleine Meetings statt, kann die Kombination mit größeren Boxen sinnvoll sein.
Wo sollten Rückzugsboxen in einem Großraumbüro stehen?
Am besten dort, wo der Bedarf entsteht: gut erreichbar in der Nähe der Arbeitsplätze, ohne wichtige Laufwege zu blockieren. Je sichtbarer und unkomplizierter eine Box nutzbar ist, desto eher werden Calls und Gespräche tatsächlich aus dem Open Space herausverlagert.
Sind Akustikdecken und Schallabsorber im Großraumbüro ausreichend?
Solche Maßnahmen können die Raumakustik verbessern, lösen aber nicht automatisch das Problem direkt geführter Gespräche. Telefon- und Meetingboxen verfolgen einen anderen Ansatz: Sie geben sprachintensiven Tätigkeiten einen eigenen Ort. Beide Ansätze können sich deshalb in einem Akustikkonzept ergänzen.
Kann eine Telefonbox auch für konzentrierte Arbeit genutzt werden?
Ja. HUUS Einzelboxen lassen sich neben Calls auch für zeitlich begrenzte Fokusphasen nutzen. Arbeitsfläche, Beleuchtung, Stromanschlüsse und aktive Belüftung schaffen dafür einen direkt nutzbaren Rückzugsplatz innerhalb des Büros.
Wie bleibt eine Box bei längeren Calls angenehm nutzbar?
HUUS Boxen verfügen über aktive Belüftung und integrierte Beleuchtung. Bei HUUS One und HUUS Call sorgen mehrere leise Ventilatoren für kontinuierlichen Luftaustausch. Größere Meetingboxen besitzen entsprechend leistungsfähigere Belüftungssysteme.
Muss für besseren Schallschutz im Großraumbüro umgebaut werden?
Nicht zwingend. HUUS Boxen funktionieren als Raum-in-Raum-Lösungen und können bestehende offene Flächen um Rückzugs- und Besprechungsbereiche ergänzen. Dadurch lassen sich neue Nutzungsmöglichkeiten schaffen, ohne zusätzliche feste Räume zu bauen.
Wie wird aus Schallschutz im Großraumbüro eine funktionierende Routine?
Die Boxen sollten klare Aufgaben im Arbeitsalltag übernehmen. Wenn im Team selbstverständlich gilt, dass längere Calls, vertrauliche Gespräche oder kleine Meetings in die dafür vorgesehenen Boxen wandern, bleiben offene Arbeitsbereiche konsequenter für konzentrierte Arbeit nutzbar.
