Improving acoustics in a factory

In a factory there are often many sound sources which together determine the total noise level at the workstations. Some of these noise sources are variable in position (moving carts, employees with tools) or are impossible to reduce because they are inherent to the production process.

The acoustics in the factory contribute to the extent to which this noise is experienced. Reflections of sound waves against hard surfaces spread sound throughout the room and increase the sound level.
