The opposite of noise is silence. Silence amplifi es our
conversations, brings us into the foreground. Silence gives
quality of life back to the space. Noise is bothersome,
prevents active listening, hinders dialogue, impairs
concentration and, on the contrary, generates distraction
and discomfort. Living a space well also means feeling
comfortable - and not only thanks to the light. Today's
spaces are open and multifunctional, with a high risk of
noise contamination. Generally speaking, to ensure a good
acoustic quality in any room and avoiding echoes, it is a
good idea to focus on sound-absorbing materials, which
avoid propagation of sound waves thanks to their ability to
transform sound energy into heat. Light Shed db60 is the
version with sound-absorbing panels.
