Acoustic absorption is vital in an office environment to lower excessive reverberation. By fitting dividing screens with a thickness of 25 or 40mm this will help absorption by up to 90%
1. Noise is regarded as a source of distraction, frustration and stress amongst office workers. which can lead to higher incidents of illness and staff turnover. 2. Rooms without good sound proofing will suffer from high reverberation, this has a merging effect on speech which becomes unintelligible as the sound overlaps with the next. However rooms with sound absorbing materials have a low reverberation time and individual speech sounds may be heard cleanly without overlap which allows for a higher degree of speech intelligibility. 3. Taking measures to improve your acoustic environment may increase your productivity by as much as 20% 4. Studies have shown that even low levels of noise in an office environment can cause distraction and stress amongst employees which can lead to a reduction in productivity and can affect a companies performance.
