In an office setting, they are often made for one person, and differs from a meeting room which typically are larger and can accommodate several people.
In one sense, the quiet room is a place of silence where one can stay without noise disturbance from others,[2] for example in order to perform work requiring concentration[3] or which is confidential in nature.
An example of use can be if a person is seated in a noisy office landscape and is handed a task which requires special concentration.
[5] Quiet rooms can also refer to a "sanctuary" or a place where you can rest and let the mind fly,[6] or even perform yoga.
[7] In some cases, quiet rooms have been set up temporarily as a place where people can mourn.
