5 Signs Your Space Needs Acoustic Treatment
Acoustic problems tend to get explained away as something else for months before anyone identifies the actual cause.
1. Meetings take longer than they should
If people are frequently asking others to repeat themselves, reverberation is very likely part of the problem.
2. Video calls sound noticeably worse from certain desks
That is a direct, measurable acoustic issue — and one of the easiest to fix.
3. The space feels louder than the decibel level would suggest
Reverberation time has a bigger effect on comfort than raw volume.
