Have you got a link to the video you watched?
There are lots of ways sound leaks in and out and you
could have an enclosure that was excellent at stopping sound
that came through the air but lousy at preventing vibrations
through the floor or walls.
Teletype machines from years gone by used to be really
good at almost shaking a whole building to pieces.
Our news room at KOSU in the early seventies had 3
Teletypes in it of different speeds and all of them really
rocked and rolled when they were running. The worst one ran at
120 words per minute and the table it was on would sway back and
forth. It was kind of scary. It was ear-splittingly loud through
the air and I can imagine how a sound booth would have cut that
sound down but there would have been a lot of vibration
still transmitted through the floor. Unless that enclosure has an
absorbent floor, it might do really well on the sound through
the air but nothing for vibrations transmitted directly through
objects.
