During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people became used to working from home. As workers are now returning to their offices, some new research about the perfect level of sound for a working environment has been released. Years ago, open-plan offices became popular when researchers found that they were better for productivity and the mental health of employees. However, some people complain that there is too much activity in an open office. This makes it harder for workers to focus.
