White noise

Why white noise works in office environments

In open office spaces, distraction can be a major problem. Calls, phones and ambient sounds ensure that concentration is interrupted every time. White noise helps to prevent this by adding a soft, constant layer of sound that masks these distractions. As a result, the noise level remains stable and employees experience more rest. In combination with acoustic wall panels or ceiling elements, white noise can be an effective way to optimize acoustics in dynamic workspaces.

The benefits of white noise for concentration and privacy

Using white noise has several benefits, both for focus and well-being.

• Improved concentration: Because sudden noises are less noticeable, you can stay focused longer.
• More privacy: conversations are subtly masked, which is nice in open work spaces or co-working spaces.
• Lower stress levels: a more constant sound image relaxes and prevents fatigue.
• Higher productivity: employees have to invest less energy in ignoring disruptive incentives.

By cleverly combining white noise with acoustic furniture or acoustic panels create a quiet, pleasant working environment.

How to incorporate white noise into acoustic design

White noise can be integrated into the interior design of an office in various ways. Think of systems that distribute soft noise via ceiling or wall installations, or design solutions in which acoustic lighting and partitions combine sound absorption with atmosphere. It's important to include white noise in the design phase so that acoustics and aesthetics work together in harmony. A good acoustic plan takes into account the activities, materials and the desired atmosphere in each room.
