Whether at work, or at home, excess noise can become a real nuisance if left unchecked.  Incessant noise is not only distracting, affecting productivity and concentration, but it can manifest in physical ailments.  In fact, year on year, the link between excess noise pollution and poor physical health is further established.

Across a number of studies, researchers have demonstrated that people who live and work in noisy environments tend to be more likely to develop harmful health conditions, such as heart disease and high blood pressure.
