sound stage

"A sound stage is a hangar-like structure, building or room, that is soundproof for the production of theatrical motion pictures and television, usually inside a movie studio.

Structures of this type were in use in the motion picture industry before the advent of sound recording. Early stages for silent movies were built with large skylights until electric lighting became powerful enough to adequately expose film. With the coming of the talkies in the late 1920s, it became necessary to enclose the stages, eliminating noise and distractions from outside. Buildings without soundproofing are still referred to as silent stages. While a film is being made, people behind the camera can make as much noise as they like on a silent stage whereas they must be careful not to make any unnecessary noise on a sound stage."
