Why does silence matter?

When was the last time you experienced true silence at work? Not the awkward kind when no one knows what to say, but the kind where ideas are born, and your mind finally gets the space to breathe. In today’s world of constant notifications, shared open spaces, and endless background noise, silence has become a rarity. And that’s exactly why we’re starting to fight for it again - as a key element of a healthy and productive work environment.

Silence isn’t emptiness

It’s a space where thoughts find their rhythm and work begins to flow.  A study by Jabra, for example, found that 63% of employees struggle to concentrate due to workplace noise. People who work in quiet or acoustically comfortable environments feel calmer, more productive, and more satisfied. And more and more companies are starting to realize that.

The need for silence is becoming increasingly recognized across industries — not just among creatives or developers. For neurodivergent individuals (such as those with ADHD or autism), a noisy environment can even become a barrier to fully engaging in their work.

Silence, working in your favor:

  • Supports mental well-being and reduces stress

  • Enhances focus and concentration

  • Aids decision-making and improves memory

We can't solve office noise on our own


Modern offices are often designed with openness and collaboration in mind. But what looks good on paper doesn’t always work in practice. An open space without proper acoustic solutions can quickly turn into a soundscape of chaos. Some people don’t notice it. Some get used to it. But most lose the ability to do deep work and feel drained and frustrated as a result.
