Acoustic Vision decorative sound absorption for boardrooms

Works of Art that Reduce Noise Fatigue in Boardrooms

Boardrooms are spaces where people are informed, decisions made, and battles won or lost. Yet the noise levels in 80% of boardrooms we tested would have fatigued even the most seasoned of negotiators in a short time.

Boardrooms and conference rooms often have absorptive floors and ceilings. This can give rise to flutter echo between the hard surface walls. It results in listener fatigue causing early cessations of meetings, compromised decisions, lost pitches and postponements. These echoes can also effectively amplify the sound creating further concerns about privacy, especially where such rooms are often near to public, or semi public areas.

Boardrooms require a calmer listening environment than other commercial spaces. At Acoustic Vision we have identified that the average size board room should have an Optimal Buzz Rating (OBR) of 4.5.

To alleviate the problem of noise fatigue in boardrooms, often a combination of absorbent and diffusive treatments are most effective in reducing echo and noise to produce a conducive and secure boardroom.

Many of our acoustic solutions can be incorporated and presented as works of art. These treatments are usually portable and can be repositioned as the business changes and grows into newer premises.
