How can I reduce disturbing noise in the office?

To reduce disturbing noise in the office, you can use sound-absorbent materials such as acoustic panels, floor coverings and curtains to dampen the sound. You can also use partition walls or plants to shield workspaces visually and acoustically.

Provide quiet zones where employees can concentrate and encourage the use of headphones. Move loud devices to sound-insulated rooms and ensure the workstations are well positioned to minimise disturbing noise in the office.

Regular awareness-raising sessions can also help staff learn to regulate their own sound levels.
