Room acoustics for a relaxed atmosphere Modern design is pared down and puristic. Uneven or fabric-like surfaces that absorb sound in a room are often missing. Reverberation is unpleasant. Whether in a restaurant, open-plan office, conference room, or even at home – reverberation can create a cold and uncomfortable feeling. People with hearing aids find it particularly difficult to follow a conversation when there is disturbing noise. However, in many places, people don't want to clutter up their spaces with unsightly acoustic elements. However, extremely attractive solutions are now available. From slatted walls to panels, printed sound elements disguised as images, to inconspicuous acoustic furniture.
