Company X Acoustic optimisation with Lista Office 10th month 2010
Lista Hello
Modern offices have many good features. But unfortunately also negative effects on the acoustics.
The office world is getting louder.
More and more open space concepts: team and open-plan offices further work processes, but also the noise
level.
More and more tightly packed offices: the number of workstations per square metre is increasing, and with it noise
pollution.
More and more intensive communication: stress and conflict as well as teamwork and dialogue come to the fore, with audible
consequences.
More and more office technology: printers, mobile phones, Web TV, Skype & Co. make office life more efficient and concentration
more difficult.
Less and less sound insulation: concrete, glass and parquet floors dominate modern office architecture and magnify the noise
level.
Concentration is becoming more important.
Increasingly complex tasks Our work involves ever more brainwork; routine jobs are automated or outsourced.
Increasingly large knowledge base In order to fulfil our tasks we must process increasing amounts of data and facts.
More and more high-pressure deadlines Despite this complexity and flood of information the time available is decreasing, not increasing.
What SUVA (Swiss Accident Insurance Fund) recommends.
The maximum noise level at VDU workstations recommended by SUVA.
What we hear every day.
(Normal conversation)
Noise level at a distance of 2 m. An increase of 10 dB is experienced as a doubling in loudness.
(Keyboard operation)
Noise level at a distance of 2 m. An increase of 10 dB is experienced as a doubling in loudness.
(Footsteps on parquet floor)
Noise level at a distance of 2 m. An increase of 10 dB is experienced as a doubling in loudness.
(Telephone conversation) Noise level at a distance of 2 m. An increase of 10 dB is experienced as a doubling in loudness.
(Phone ringing) Noise level at a distance of 2 m. An increase of 10 dB is experienced as a doubling in loudness.

Acoustically optimised office furniture is a good investment. Both for the employees and the company.
Less noise, more contentment.
