Imagine a room where a band is playing and the neighbours can't hear the music, but if someone outside the room is talking, the musicians can hear it.

It could be useful at home if you have band practice but more useful if you're a spy perhaps.
If you are a noisy workshop you could work through the night without waking the neighbours
