SE II NOISE GUIDE – VISUAL NOISE MONITOR

Visual noise guide for open office spaces, classrooms and open plan learning environments

Noise Guide introduces a solution that directly targets open office environments, allowing you to measure and ‘see’ or visualise noise levels in open spaces and self-regulate noise. Noise Guide reminds you and your colleagues when it is time to quiet down. This allows you to concentrate and stay focussed.

These are some of the facts:

– Up to 70% of office workers say they are disturbed by noise.
– More than 50% say they are interrupted by colleagues.
– Knowledge workers report being interrupted as often as every 10 minutes.
– Less noise and interruptions help improve concentration and efficiency.

The Benefits of Visualising Noise:

A group of researchers studied the effects of using a SoundEar device to visualise classroom noise levels. They studied 3 classrooms and found that the average noise levels dropped 1.4 dB, with the maximum noise levels being reduced by 3.9 dB after introducing the SoundEar noise meter to the classrooms.

Teachers found that using SoundEar was beneficial and that it had a positive effect on their students, as well as creating a better classroom environment.
