Distractions: It’s getting harder to focus, to concentrate, and to think at work. More than two-thirds of people have said that acoustical distractions are their number one concern when working in a space. Intermittent unpredictable noise, is particularly stressful.

Distractions are leading to a loss of productivity. But often the real issue today is not that the office is too loud, but rather that it is too quiet. With quieter keyboards, more texting, and fewer people communicating via phone, there is no background noise, or ‘hum’ that muffles general office sounds. The real problem is when you are in an environment where you can hear what people across the room are saying clear as a bell. That is far more distracting than general background noise.
