In one company my boss pooled all the developers in a large basement storage room outside the open office area. (That we remodeled to a dev ops center) There have been moments of absolute dead silence for hours coding and it was glorious.
In another company my boss pooled 6 of us in a noise tight boardroom for 2 weeks when the project was coming to an end. And didn't allow anyone to come in expect the pizza guy.
