The Zum Office Pod from Hecor can reduce noise by about 29.5dB, but some people say why not more? Is it because Hecor can’t do it?
But in fact, some studies have shown that being too quiet can make people feel uncomfortable, have tinnitus, or even feel nauseous. There are several reasons:
- Lack of stimulation: The human brain is accustomed to processing various sensory stimulations from the surrounding environment. When an environment is extremely quiet, lacking normal sounds, movement, or other sensory stimulation, the brain may feel bored or uncomfortable.
- Hearing hypersensitivity: Some people have a relatively low tolerance level for environmental noise, and they may be more susceptible to the discomfort caused by extreme silence. This may be related to the neurophysiological characteristics of individuals, making them more sensitive to extremely quiet environments.
- Socialization needs: Sound is an important part of human social interaction. In a quiet environment, people may feel isolated or disconnected because they are used to hearing sounds in their social interactions and interactions.
- Psychological effects: Some people may associate complete silence with loneliness, fear, or uneasiness. Therefore, an environment that is too quiet may trigger these negative emotions.
Overall, people generally prefer to be in a moderate amount of ambient noise, which provides a comfortable background without causing boredom or discomfort.
Therefore, based on psychoacoustic and physiological acoustic considerations, Hecor believes that a reduction of 29.5dB is the most appropriate.Hecor has office pod for 1 to 6 person.If you’re interested in it,please click: https://hecor.hk/zumacousticbooth/
