title: Noise in landscaped offices.
abstract: This paper deals with one part - noise and its disturbing effect - of an extensive study carried out in 15 landscaped offices in Switzerland. After an explanation of the method of noise measurement, the authors consider the results of a questionnaire which examined annoyance, sources of noise, ability to concentrate, and causes of distractions. A statistical analysis was carried out on the relationship between noise effects and the room data.
