    Improving acoustics in an open office

    Good acoustics in an open office are very important for a pleasant and healthy working environment. Good office acoustics can be achieved by reducing excessive reverberation in the room. For office workers, excessive reverberation leads to poor speech intelligibility, fatigue due to distractions, reduced concentration and increased stress levels. Acoustic challenges:

    • Low reverberation time;
    • No reflections from ceiling and walls;
    • Less direct sound transmission between workstations;
    • Few distractions and noise nuisance from each other.

    What results in good acoustics in an open office?

    Four benefits

    Speech intelligibility

    Good acoustics make it easier to understand each other and people at the same table can communicate without raising their voices.

    By better shielding sound with acoustic barriers (desk screens, dividers), sound can spread less easily. As a result, employees experience less direct nuisance from each other.

    Healthy workplace

    A good acoustic environment results in less fatigue, less stress and ultimately less absence due to illness.

    Productive workplace

    Fewer distractions and improved concentration through the right acoustic solutions ensures that an employee will work more efficiently.
