Partition system for open-plan office spaces
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985The partition system disclosed herein incorporates apparatus for generating a speech masking acoustic field. Respective speakers are mounted near the bottom of each of a plurality of partition panel segments defining each work space and are aimed horizontally.

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings
Open-plan offices are designed to promote collaboration and communication between workers, but they can be noisy and distracting, where irrelevant speech is one of the main causes of dissatisfaction and annoyance.

The Barrier in Open-Office Planning
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1970The effectiveness of a barrier in open office planning is evaluated in terms of the total system of surrounding surfaces. Scale-modeling techniques utilizing an ultrasonic source have been used to determine the loss in sound isolation provided by a barrier between two adjacent spaces when reflective but potentially absorptive surfaces such as corewalls,

A revised online tool for room acoustic prediction of open-plan offices
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference ProceedingsRoom acoustic conditions in open-plan offices are usually measured using ISO 3382-3 standard. The essential single-number quantities obtained from the measurement are comfort distance and distraction distance.

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings
Although progress has been made over the last decade on the issue of well-being in open-plan offices, recent surveys show that employees are still dissatisfied with their working environment, particularly the noise environment, remains.

Ambient noise in open plan offices
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1989This paper summarizes ambient noise data that were collected in open plan offices over the past 2 years. The approach centered on monitoring the noise level in empty workstations to establish some statistics of the noise that would be auditioned by a person sitting in that workstation during a normal work day.

Sound masking system for open plan office
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1979This invention relates to a system for masking conversation in an open plan office. A conventional generator of electrical random noise currents feeds its output through adjustable electric filter means to speaker clusters in a plenum above the office space.

Three Recent Experiences in Open Office Planning
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1971Theoretical considerations have led to the design and completion of three acoustically successful open-plan offices. With but minor compromises, each was treated with highly absorptive materials to reduce and to localize the sounds of speech and other activities. In two of the three cases, a steady level of background noise is generated and distributed

Users' privacy preferences in open plan offices
Facilities, 2008PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore managers' and employees' opinions regarding privacy in open plan offices and also investigate the relationship between the perception of managers and employees on visual and acoustical privacy in order to provide better design solutions in an open plan office setting.Design/methodology/approachThe research
