Sound environments

Noise in workplaces and learning environments does more than distract. It raises stress levels, drains energy, and lowers performance. We reduce noise and create calm environments where people can feel good, stay focused, and be productive.

Human hearing is naturally tuned to pick up speech and sounds around us. This makes us alert to even unintended conversations or background noises. Without good sound absorption, these distractions can make it harder to concentrate and perform.

Before we look at solutions, it’s important to understand the difference between desired sound and noise. Desired sounds include a conversation between you and a colleague, music of your choice, or even birdsong. Noise, on the other hand, is made up of sounds you don’t want to hear: conversations you’re not a part of, machines, doors, or footsteps from people passing by your desk. These noises often disturb us, increasing stress and reducing efficiency.

Some noise effects include:

Fatigue
Stress
Higher blood pressure
Poor performance
Impaired hearing
Reduced learning ability

Our approach to sound absorption

Sound absorbers prevent sound from spreading across a room by reducing the energy of sound waves and converting it to heat within the material. This shortens reverberation and creates a noticeably better work or study environment.

But finding the right acoustic solution isn’t always easy. That’s why we help you with:

The right products

The material plays a vital role in the sound absorption efficiency. We mainly use stone wool, recognized for its exceptional sound absorption properties, with a special thickness and density.

The right amount

We carry out precise sound absorption calculations to ensure the right amount of sound absorbers, where noise is minimized without making the space uncomfortably silent.

The right placement

A wall absorber might have a different impact than a floor screen that covers large areas. We help you find the right placement tailored to how the space is used.

When creating healthy sound environments, we gather details about the room: ceiling height, length, width, materials used, and how the room functions. Is it a lively preschool or a quiet focus space in the office? Based on this, we provide a recommended solution, including a sound absorption calculation and high-quality 3D images, usually within 48 hours.

At Zilenzio, we go beyond offering products. We provide a complete solution tailored to each space, and we take full responsibility for the results. We call this The Satisfaction Promise.

Science and experience behind the solutions

Together with Pontus Thorsson, professor in acoustics, we have studied the effects of noise and especially speech in different environments. Based on these studies, our long experience, and analysis of workspaces, we have developed high-quality products tested according to international standards.

The benefits of a good acoustic solution

The right solution brings many advantages, including:

Enhanced well-being
Lower stress levels
Increased productivity

For businesses, a clear return on investment is possible, with payback periods sometimes as short as a few months due to improved efficiency.

Choosing the right level of sound absorption

Your needs will shape the right solution. Do you want to reduce visual distractions, limit long-distance sounds, or minimize nearby noise? We can help with sound tests and advice tailored to your space.

The difference the right solution can make is clear. For example:
