Noise pollution in the office.
Acoustics, the science concerned with the production, control, transmission, reception, and effects of sound. The term is derived from the Greek akoustos, meaning "heard."
The following information primarily deals with unwanted sounds in offices.
Sound pollution “noise” in the office is sound that disturbs the occupants thought or work process.
Noise is what we want to keep from disturbing the work process, sound is OK, noise is not.
Noise is reduced in the office by the act of absorption, the placement of items in the office that are designed to absorb sound.
Noise reduction in the office is normally achieved with carpets, curtains, ceiling baffles, wall baffles and screens. Unbacked woven fabric is usually best for these items.
There are five classified classes of sound absorption in the ISO 11654 test. Class A is the highest and Class E is the lowest.
The weighted sound absorption coefficient to ISO 11654 = 1.00, Class A.
-
At α = 0.00, means that there is no absorption; the entire incident sound is reflected.
-
At α = 0.50, 50% of the sound energy is absorbed and 50% is reflected.
-
At α = 1.00, all incident sound is absorbed, Class A.
ECO's products below have all passed the ISO 11654 test and are Class A tested.
