Improving office acoustics with customised sound-absorbing solutions: a case study

In office environments, acoustics play a crucial role in ensuring comfort and working efficiency. In areas such as multi-station open spaces or meeting rooms, poor sound management can cause distraction, fatigue and communication difficulties. More and more companies are also paying attention to aesthetics, seeking solutions that reflect and enhance their corporate brand identity.
This case study shows how both needs can be met by adopting a single solution.

 

The intervention affected a 109 m³ meeting room, where the high reverberation time (average Tr of 2.55 seconds) compromised speech clarity and meeting effectiveness.

 

The solution adopted involves the installation of 10 Silente sound-absorbing panels measuring 120x120x5 cm, with adherent application to the ceiling and wall.
As shown in the graph, thanks to this intervention, the reverberation time is reduced to 0.71 seconds, significantly improving sound clarity, with a decrease in sound level of 5.58 dB.

Caruso Acoustic solutions can be customised in the colours and prints of the fabric covering without compromising their effectiveness, allowing them to be coordinated with the company’s furnishings and image and make workspaces more functional and representative.
