Years ago, a dear colleague and friend, Chuck Jokel, pointed out that our office environment was too quiet. Any phone call or conversation was heard across the cubicle jungle, reducing effective communications and focus. When we went to our workplace leadership with ambient office noise data, we were, literally, laughed at. Our bosses’ boss thought we were kidding, as we worked on engineering controls in DoD hearing conservation for a living. More and more, our research community is publishing on how silence may be used to effectively modify soundscapes to achieve the ideal noise composition for work, home, and recreational listening environments.
