Less noise for more efficient brain work
We know that noise affects our ability to learn as well as generating irritation and stress. This, in turn, reduces efficiency and well-being in the workplace. Some research findings indicate that workplace efficiency could increase by as much as 50% with the right sound environment. Memory researchers and cognitive scientists have conducted a lot of research into how the sound environment aff
