THE
SCIENCE
OF
SOUND Workplace Noise & the
Promise of Mobile Conferencing

AUDITORY CHAOS
Hearing is a sense we can’t turn off. Our ears
are always on, and the sounds around us
present constant opportunity for distraction.
In the workplace, we are constantly
listening to and analyzing the sounds in our
environment, even if we aren’t consciously
aware of this mental process.

THIS IS
YOUR
BRAIN ON
NOISE
Background noise is more than just a nuisance. It's
an efficiency-killer, hindering productivity by up to
30% when performing tasks that utilize memory.

CONDITIONS
Noise is a plague upon open-plan office workers. If
unwanted noise is hindering your communication and
collaboration in the workplace, it's time to make a change.

The power of the mobile phone lies in its ability to empower workers
to untether themselves from their deskphones and communicate
clearly regardless of location.
