Room Prims with Optional Privacy Mode

Problem 1: You have a multi-story building or multiple rooms within 20 meters of each other. You're going to hear cross-talk regardless of walls. This can make conversations harder to follow for RPers, and means that you have to spread sky platforms and such out more for privacy.
Problem 2: If your sim is not sliced into plots, you may run into issues with users camming into private spaces, which can lead to all sorts of nonsense and drama.
Solution:
Similar to how reflection probes work, let us create a cube, scale it to fit a room, click a checkbox and make it behave similar to the "Avatars in this parcel can see and chat with avatars on this parcel" option on parcel control. User can choose "see" and "hear" separately.
With this, sim owners can give users with private homes on their sims actual privacy, and can reduce confusing cross-talk between closely placed rooms and skyboxes can be put closer together for better efficiency.

Hello, and thank you for your feature request regarding Room Prims with Optional Privacy Mode. Another resident brought up a similar idea in the past, and we are merging your comments to get to it faster. We understand the importance of privacy and reducing cross-talk in multi-story buildings or closely placed rooms, and we appreciate your detailed solution. We have no estimate when it may be implemented, but please keep an eye on future updates. Your input is valuable, and we hope you continue to share your ideas to help improve Second Life. Thank you!

Just wondering if it's also possible to restrict sounds (in general) to within a volume in the same manner as restricting sounds to parcel works currently.
It would be useful to have options to create an interior soundscape unaffected by exterior soundscapes nearby on the same parcel, for example a quiet room within a noisy street
I'm mentioning it here rather than opening an entirely separate Feedback since the concepts above are essentially in the same ballpark.
