Ecophon has published an all-encompassing handbook that explores the issues of noise within the office environment. Unlike any other publication of its type, Noise and the Modern Office – over its 150 pages – provides an invaluable insight into the issues surrounding noise and its effects upon us.

Containing comprehensive sections on the evolution of the office and the history of noise management, the handbook, through a series of photographically illustrated case-studies, features some of the acoustic solutions chosen by the world's leading companies. These include the offices of Ericsson Mobile Communications, Siemens Nixdorf, British Airways, Andersen Consulting and Nokia Mobile Phones.

The book goes on to look at specific acoustic management systems in the form of acoustic ceilings. By providing valuable information about the qualities that should be inherent within such a system, Noise and the Modern Office provides the ultimate specification tool.

N.B. Noise and the Modern Office will be made available, free of charge, to all delegates attending Ecophon's series of seminars on the modern office, which will run throughout 2001.
