How far into the quiet each plan goes

You pay for a plan’s quietest seat; its bracket runs from there to the loudest room it opens.

Free tours, and you join at the front desk afterwards

Day passes or Flex

From your 7th day in a month, Flex costs less than day passes.

We sell at most 42 Flex memberships for the Commons’ 28 seats, so you still find a seat at eleven.

The Commons at eleven: long oak benches and a window counter under the felt baffles, two members working at the far end, seen from behind.

A Reading Room desk costs $175 a month more than Flex: the price of 34 decibels instead of 49.

The Reading Room from desk 7: a row of dark oak desks with black task lamps under rows of mulberry felt baffles, nobody at the desks.

Sit in the room before you pay for it.

Tours Wednesday and Friday at 11:00 and 13:00: two of the hours we measure, so the rooms sound the way the readings say.
