Long reverberation
In reverberation, we speak of the time a sound or word takes to be inaudible. Ideal reverberation times in an open office are approx. 0.7 seconds. In churches it usually echoes for 2.5 – 3 seconds.
Solution: Absorption
High word and sentence intelligibility
When one literally hears fleas coughing in the office, one speaks of too much intelligibility of words and sentences. The highest intelligibility lies in the frequency range between 1000 and 2000 Hz, this bandwidth also represents the bandwidth with the highest distraction potential.
Solution: Sound masking
By recording superimposed frequency ranges, unwanted high word intelligibility is covered. Concentration is possible again, the office is perceived more calmly.
Direct sound
First row rock concert. You’re standing in front of the box, that’s direct sound. More disturbing, however, is usually the opposite colleague who is too loud on the phone and prevents you from concentrating on your work.
Solution: Interrupt the sound
