The Noise Guide targets loud conversations by glowing red along the top and bottom. Ideal for open-plan offices to stop workers from being disturbed by talking. It creates noise awareness without verbal prompting, improving the work environment and concentration levels.
- Up to 70% of office workers say noise disturbs them.
- More than 50 % say they are interrupted by colleagues.
- Knowledge workers report being interrupted as often as every 10 minutes.
Green indicates the speech is within acceptable limits. Yellow indicates the speech is approaching the limit. When the ear turns red, it indicates the speech may disturb colleagues, so you should continue the conversation elsewhere or speak more quietly. The light indication on the bottom part shows the average noise level for a more extended period – typically 15 minutes.
The Noise Guide includes a table stand and table mount; a wall mount fitting is available as an option. Suitable for indoor use only.
