It’s generally mental work that is more prone to being disturbed than physical work.
The higher the frequency, the more disturbing a sound is – this applies up to about 6,000 Hz.
Consistent sounds are less disruptive than fluctuating one.
The stronger a sound is, the more disturbing it is perceived.
As soon as disruptive noises in the workplace are reduced, the acoustics in the office are perceived as pleasant over the long term. This feeling is heightened when you also feel that you are not disturbing others with your communication.
Effective sound insulation can be achieved:
If working noises and voices are not transferred from one workstation to another or (if unavoidable) they are so quiet that they do not interfere actively.
If noises from technical devices inside the office or noises from outside the office are not perceived as disturbing.
If it is possible to conduct confidential conversations or telephone calls in a muted tone in the workplace without any problems.
In order to achieve optimal acoustics in your own office spaces, even small things such as soundproofing panels, wall absorbers and acoustic partitions can work miracles. Sustainably produced, these items are a real asset for your green office.
