Noise causes ill health!
Next to seeing, hearing is an important sense, because hearing is essential to our social interactions. Someone who hears poorly will also communicate poorly with others. But hearing is threatened. Our environment is no longer silent. Almost around the clock, noises press in on us, which in the long run can make us sick. We can shut our eyes, but not our ears. As a result, getting rid of noise is not always easy. 1 out of every 2 employees feels that his/her productivity is hampered by ambient noise levels in the office. In order to maintain concentration while working, a quiet work atmosphere is indispensable.
What is acoustics?
Acoustics is the analysis of sound. Sound occurs when a medium (air) is displaced through mechanical oscillations. These oscillations cause sound pressure. The number of sound oscillations per second determines the tonality, also known as frequency. The two most important methods of sound protection are: 1. noise reduction through sound absorption, and 2. sound damping through sound insulation.
Solutions – acoustically oriented spatial planning.
The issue of sound absorption and damping can no longer be left out of the process of planning office spaces. There are numerous possibilities for designing acoustically ideal office spaces. In order to keep bothersome background noise levels to an absolute minimum, the following measures should be considered at least for offices for more than one person: sound absorbing covers, rugs, room partitions, partition walls and/or space dividing movable walls.
