Overview: Sound not only affects one's mood and emotions, it can affect what one thinks and, indeed, one's ability to hear himself or herself think. In the workplace, bad acoustical design can increase stress and reduce productivity. At any given time, a cubicle worker may be overhearing one or more phone conversations, water cooler chats, impromptu meetings, bull sessions, and even co-workers muttering at their computers.

This paper will examine the problem of office noise in more detail and explore ways to address the problem.
