Acoustics influence our concentration, efficiency and overall comfort of working.

30 January 2021

There is some extensive research showing how big of an impact acoustics have on every aspect of our lives.

Their role in a workplace is key. Acoustics influence our concentration, efficiency and overall comfort of working.

Proper acoustics in a room require superior solutions - putting partitions enhanced with some high-quality isolating properties and making sure all the electric and electronic devices are not disturbingly loud.

In Poland, appropriate room acoustics have been obligatory since January 2018.

Let’s not forget that an acoustic ceiling very rarely meets the legal requirements and doesn't provide high comfort of working whatsoever. That’s why the need of placing external acoustic systems occurred, for example, free-standing room dividers.

Research shows that up to 99% of interviewees report a decrease in concentration at work due to noise1. Noise lowers efficiency by up to 66%, compared to noise-free working conditions2, and raises stress levels3. Applying an appropriate acoustic adaptation can reduce noise by over 10 dB4. As a result, improved acoustics reduce stress by 27% and strengthen concentration by as much as 48%5.
