When people are making calls while they share the same workspace the cross-talk might be a source of a disturbing noise. This is true regardless if the people that share the open office are from the same company or from different companies as commonly happen in shared workspace. In this blog we will discuss how a noisy shared workspace can be converted to a quiet workspace.

Few decades ago, open spaces were seen mainly in high labor factories but today open offices are commonly seen in many companies and in all industries. There are pros and cons to open spaces but ambient human noise is surely one of the main cons for open offices. The fact that you have many people working in the same area and there are no acoustic boundaries between them yield the inevitable outcome of loud ambient human noise. From audio point of view, the open space environment is actually very similar to a noisy call center environment.

The noise becomes a significant disturbance and might even impact business when making phone calls. When making phone calls the person on the other end starts hearing the commotion of the open space and this fact turns the call to be is very unprofessional.

The solution to these cases is similar to the solution for call center. The Noise Firewall software solution has the capability to automatically identify the noisy locations in the open space and remove all noise, including background human voice, from the calls. It is important to point out that the main noise in open offices is ambient human voice and any standard AI based noise cancellation solution will not be able to remove since it can only remove non-human sounds like car horn and dog bark. In order to perform this task the Noise Firewall is equipped with a patented Reference-Based Noise Reduction (RNR) technology. You are invited to read all about the different noise cancellation filters.
