Unfortunately, noise reduction is not a very important part of it.
The problem is a genuine need for actual privacy and isolation in order to engage states of flow required for depth of technical knowledge work.
There’s no way to avoid it: all knowledge workers even in dense urban areas need to be afforded a reasonable private office with a door that shuts, and it should be viewed as a basic tool necessity like a keyboard or monitor. Just part of the cost of doing business.
- duxup 7y agoAgreed. My earmuffs are not a total solution. You also need to limit things like visual things, potential interruptions, etc. I actually used the "mother's room" at a place I worked for that from time to time. Good lighting, quiet, comfortable, PRIVATE. Granted I made sure nobody needed it, but it was a small office so I was reasonably sure that there would be no conflicts.
