RE: NY Times on Pink Noise System installed in open work place...

[Guest guest]

Here’s a link to an interesting article about an experiment done at a work place of cubicles where they installed a “pink noise system†into the building.   It’s pretty interesting and maybe a good idea for other work places . . . http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/20/science/when-buzz-at-your-cubicle-is-too-loud-for-work.html?_r=1 From: Soundsensitivity [mailto:Soundsensitivity ] On Behalf Of ecudnyj@...Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 10:55 AMTo: Soundsensitivity Subject: Re: Noise cancelling machine I have on earbuds now but they really start to hurt my ears.

This makes me more confident about bringing the issue up to my boss. My little

office, I share with one other girl who makes nasty sniffling, sneezing,

coughing, and other noises that disturb me and distract me all day, to the point

where I simply can't work.

I do use simplynoise.com over my computer speakers sometimes, but then there's

the hallway and the neighboring office noise. I can't hear who I'm talking to on

the phone and have to shut the door. It sucks.
