But we do ensure that someone outside the booth will check the booth if an emergency or fire evacuation occurs. One of the occasions when the booth was checked was 9/11 (I'm at a federal lab in the Washington DC area.)

Of course, sound proofing wa= sn't a priority for the installers..... so over the next several weeks we h= ad to undertake several exercises to attempt to seal the booths again. Apparently, the local codes required that (at a minimum) there be a warning= device inside any "room" in our building. In this instance, the inspector = (who must have been working late night on some weekend) decided to call eac= h sound booth a "room".

During the past couple of weeks I moved one of my IAC d= ouble-walled sound booths (~10x10x10 foot outer dimensions) to a different = room. After the move the inspector for my building informed me that a fire= sprinkler must be installed INSIDE the sound booth. Four years ago I had = 2 booths installed brand new and the inspector had no problem (go figure). = Has anybody, particularly here in the US, had a similar experience with th= eir sound booths? I've seen a lot of sound booths around the US and I've n= ever once observed a fire sprinkler inside the booth. PS. Thanks to all those on the LIST that suggested contractors to me to mo= ve the sound room. Daniel J.
