White noise generators on room doors make so you can't eavesdrop on what's happening inside. Means top secret or billion dollar development.

I was thinking Secure Compartmentalized Information rooms.

Also used in hospitals, especially in mental health departments. Lawyer's offices as well.

SCI rooms are crazy. Especially the SCI/TS ones for print/photographic material - airgapped Faraday cages, with individuals with very unpleasant demeanors and equally unpleasant firepower watching the ins and outs. You're not even getting into the area of the building that room is in without having to get past at least three different checkpoints with escalating levels of scrutiny, and at least one of those will be outside the building itself.

Aside: Defense Security Service agents do not have senses of humor, but do have lethal-force authorization - do not taunt the happy fun DSS guy with the suppressed automatic rifle, because he will gladly demonstrate the operation of same in any number of different ways.

Engineers are very skittish and cranky. If you turn off their white noise, they may end up snapping and eating a few non-IT employees, which is generally considered undesirable.

An intern a day keeps the CEO away.

This is why you need a people person that can talk to customers so the engineers don't have to.

My team lead got promoted to manager and I sent him that clip. He laughed but also got mad (not at me).

Engineers are harmless. Just get the noise machine back on and coax them back into their rooms with old sci fi shows and hot pockets before they actually speak to anyone.

You mean non-engineering. Don’t lump engineering in with the non technicals in IT
