It has been 30 years since the first open plan office spaces appeared to replace closed offices, and this trend continued so that the open plan environment has come to make up 70% of all office space today. It has also been 30 years since office workers first complained about the acoustics at their workstations. Since this time we have seen businesses move towards higher and higher workspace densities, the use of speaker phones and teleconferencing, the creation of office team areas, and highly acoustically reflective computer screens on every desk. The problems created by these changes have often been ignored as the distractions are usually seen as an annoyance and not a priority. More and more this attitude is changing as studies show noise distractions been directly related to productivity.
