The impact of noise on health and well-being

Noise can have a negative impact on our health and well-being. According to Noise and Noise Control – Knowledge and Solutions, persistent noise can lead to stress, sleep problems, concentration problems and even hearing damage. Therefore, it is important to take noise problems seriously and find solutions that can reduce noise levels.

How to reduce noise

1. Create better acoustics

An effective way to reduce noise is to improve the acoustics in the room. According to Noise and Acoustics in Construction—Prevention and Attenuation, acoustic materials such as absorbers and diffusers can help reduce reverberation and noise levels.

2. Use noise-canceling products

There are also special noise-dampening products that can be an effective solution. Products like Skyen from ÅBN can monitor noise levels and actively reduce noise by regulating ventilation and soundproofing systems.

3. Implement guidelines and behavioral changes

Another important factor in noise reduction is behavior. According to How to Reduce Noise , simple changes like avoiding loud voices, using headphones, and creating quiet work areas can have a positive impact on noise levels.
