Noise protection at the workplace

Good room acoustics improve productivity in the workplace

Healthy employees work better. To avoid health effects, it is worth investing in noise protection. Because healthy employees work better. They are sick less often and therefore require less and shorter paid time off. Their efficiency also increases: they can concentrate better and do more and better work in less time.

Noise protection in the workplace

When noise from cars, trains and crowds of people is constantly entering the office, we want peace and quiet as quickly as possible. However, closed windows are sometimes not sufficient noise protection. If the constant noise level exceeds 65 decibels, you should consider professional sound insulation or noise protection. The solutions are customised to your requirements - should the sound be muffled or insulated, how loud is the noise level and how quiet do you want it to be? We will be happy to advise you on these questions.

Noise is harmful to health

The building site next door, the aeroplanes in the flight path, the traffic noise from the main road - there are many sources of noise. If the noise exceeds around 90 decibels, there is a risk of sudden hearing loss. From 100 decibels at the latest, ear protection should be used to protect employees' hearing. However, very few offices are permanently exposed to these extreme noise sources. Noise protection in the workplace is much more about keeping medium noise levels out of the office. This is because the risk of chronic illness increases significantly if these levels persist throughout the working day:

Cardiovascular
Prolonged noise causes high blood pressure and an increased heart rate. Over months or years, this can lead to heart attacks, arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.

Stress
A restless environment triggers stress hormones that make you lose concentration in the short term. Over longer periods of time, the risk of illness increases.

Noise protection increases productivity

Noise protection in the workplace is more than just a luxury for sensitive employees. On the contrary: a pleasant, quiet working environment promotes the health of employees. And healthy employees work more concentrated, more effectively - simply better.
