The Impact Of Noise In The Workplace

Modern workplaces can be noisy. Phones ring, people talk and keyboards click. But while some background noise is a fact of life, more intrusive noise is something else. Studies show that it can disrupt productivity, increase error rates and even increase stress. 

But Acoustic Treatment can change all of that. Let’s find out how.

What Is Acoustic Treatment? How Can It Help My Team?

Acoustic Treatment solutions deflect and absorb unwanted noise. This helps to create a quieter work environment where team members can concentrate and be more productive. 

Quieter environments also help teams to communicate more effectively. So acoustic treatments can help teams to stay aligned and innovative. 

Environments with lower noise levels also make your staff happier. Employees have a better work experience and report higher levels of satisfaction in quieter workplaces.

Tailored Acoustic Solutions For Different Spaces

Different environments in the workplace have unique acoustic treatment needs. A solution for one space may not be as effective in another space. 

Here is what acoustic treatments can offer in different types of workspaces.

Open Plan Offices

Wall panels, sound baffles and ceiling clouds can absorb noise in open-plan office spaces. Open-plan offices have many plus points, but they can be noisy. Acoustic treatment can create designated quiet zones in open-plan office spaces.

Meeting Rooms

Acoustic wall panels and soundproof doors can reduce sound leakage. This is crucial if your meetings need high levels of privacy and information security. But acoustic treatment can also help attendees at meetings communicate more effectively.

Huddle & Scrum Areas

Smaller collaboration spaces like huddle and scrum areas can get noisy. So desktop sound absorbers and strategically placed acoustic panels can help reduce noise levels in your huddle and scrum areas.

Background Audio

Music can set an ambience for visitors. With background audio AV technology you can help to set the right mood even before your meeting.

Reception Areas

Acoustic wall panels and soundproof booths can help to create a welcoming environment that visitors will notice. It helps to create a quiet, calm space that will give a professional first impression.

By incorporating acoustic treatment alongside AV solutions, you can ensure optimal audio quality. This is especially important for conference rooms, video conferencing spaces, and areas where presentations are held.

Optimise All Your Workspaces With Acoustic Treatment Solutions

Investing In A Quieter & More Productive Workplace

Acoustic Treatment is an investment in your team. It can contribute to staff well-being and, ultimately, make your team more productive.

But there are also other benefits to keeping your workplace free of distracting noises.

Reduced Costs

Lower noise levels means that people can communicate more effectively. This can lower error rates and reduce the amount of rework. Which saves your company time and money.

Increased Employee Retention

High noise levels get on people’s nerves. So a quieter, more comfortable work environment can make your team feel at ease. Lower noise levels increase employee satisfaction and can cut staff attrition rates in the long-term. Helping you to keep your best employees and cut recruitment/training costs.

Increased Customer Satisfaction

If your clients are struggling to hear you, both in-person and through AV systems, it might annoy them over the long term. Diminishing their overall experience with you and even affecting how they see your brand. But acoustic treatments can help to minimise this issue, so your customers can always hear you.

Creating A Balanced Soundscape

Acoustic treatment solutions do not have to eliminate all sound. The goal of acoustic treatment is to create a balanced soundscape that reduces distractions. Workspace AV Solution's team of experts will work with you to conduct acoustic assessments and recommend the best possible solution for you.

By incorporating acoustic treatment alongside AV solutions, you can ensure optimal audio quality. This is especially important for conference rooms, video conferencing spaces, and areas where presentations are held.

Frequently asked questions about Acoustic Treatment Solutions

Acoustic treatment refers to the use of materials and techniques to control sound within a space. It’s crucial for AV solutions because it improves speech intelligibility, reduces unwanted noise and reverberation, and creates a more balanced and comfortable listening environment.

Without proper acoustic treatment, even the best AV equipment can suffer from poor sound quality, making it difficult to understand speech in video conferences, presentations, or other audio-visual applications.

Several types of acoustic treatment are commonly used, including:

  • Absorption: Materials like acoustic panels, foam, and fabric absorb sound waves, reducing reverberation and echo.
  • Diffusion: Diffusers scatter sound waves, creating a more even sound distribution and preventing flutter echo.
  • Bass Traps: These specialised absorbers target low-frequency sounds, which can be particularly problematic in smaller rooms.

The specific types of treatment needed will depend on the room’s size, shape, and intended use.

Signs that your space might need acoustic treatment include:

  • Echo or reverberation: Sound lingers in the room after the source has stopped.
  • Difficulty understanding speech: Conversations are challenging, especially during video conferences.
  • Boomy or muddy sound: Low frequencies are overpowering or unclear.
  • Harsh or tinny sound: High frequencies are overly prominent.

A professional acoustic consultation can help determine the specific needs of your space and recommend the appropriate treatment solutions.

While some basic acoustic treatment, like placing a few absorption panels, can be done DIY, it’s often best to consult with a professional, especially for complex AV installations. Acoustic treatment is a science, and proper placement and selection of materials are crucial for achieving optimal results.

A professional can assess your space, design a tailored treatment plan, and ensure proper installation for the best possible sound quality.
