SONARE: The Environmental Acoustics Magazine

Acoustics has always presented a challenge for those designing, building and managing facilities. And even as awareness of its relevance to employee productivity and well-being increases, current workplace trends (e.g., more open-plan space, hard surfaces, open ceilings) make achieving speech privacy, noise control and acoustical comfort more challenging than ever.

Now, as companies start to bring — or attempt to draw — employees back to the office post-pandemic, occupant satisfaction is even more critical. Organizations need to implement strategies that not only keep staff safe and healthy, but also happy and productive enough within their working environment that they actually want to come in.

Whether an organization wants its office to be occupied full-time or serve as a critical part of a hybrid working model, it has the potential to act as a great equalizer — a shared facility specifically designed to support employees' work and well-being. In order to achieve these goals, people need tools to help think about, discuss and plan for effective acoustics.

Throughout its history, LogiSon has always taken great care to educate customers and building professionals, not only about sound masking, but — more generally — about how to achieve effective acoustics in the workplace. This led to the creation of SONARE: The Environmental Acoustics Magazine.

SONARE focuses on the concepts, factors and approaches that can help facility managers, architects, designers, and others in the building industry better understand acoustical issues and how to address them, as well as new perspectives on acoustical comfort, privacy and equity within the workplace. The information is delivered in an accessible and visually-stimulating format, including quality written content, artful layouts and professional photographs of inspirational workplaces.
