Principles of Acoustic Design for Office Spaces


To enhance the acoustic experience in the office, it is essential to start with understanding the mechanisms of sound generation. Noise sources in offices are varied, ranging from background noises such as air conditioning and printer operations, to human conversation sounds, and outdoor noises like traffic and construction outside the windows. All of these can be potential sources of disturbance in the office environment.


By intervening at every stage from noise generation to noise propagation, we can significantly improve the acoustic environment of the office, creating a more comfortable and efficient workspace for employees.


Ideal Office Acoustic Environment


An ideal office acoustic environment requires a comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects, including but not limited to acoustic decibels, reverberation time, sound distribution, and acoustic interference.





A good office acoustic environment should be a comprehensive solution that balances sound intensity, reverberation effects, sound distribution, and acoustic interference. By carefully managing these factors, the goal is to create a workspace that is both comfortable and conducive to productivity, enhancing the overall employee experience.



Comprehensive Acoustic Solution


In practical applications, it is essential to adopt targeted acoustic optimization solutions based on different office scenarios. For example, in the case of a leading technology company, NOVAH conducted a quantitative assessment and root cause analysis of the existing office acoustics based on the work behaviors and needs of R&D personnel. This enabled them to develop a comprehensive acoustic solution tailored to the company's specific requirements.






Through in-depth research and analysis of office acoustic environments, NOVAH has identified the acoustic challenges in various office settings. By aligning specific work behaviors and scenario requirements, NOVAH has successfully matched appropriate acoustic solutions and product applications.


With the growing popularity of remote work and hybrid work models, the design of office acoustic environments faces new challenges and opportunities. We will continue to explore intelligent and personalized acoustic solutions to create more dynamic and sustainable sound environments.
