Workplaces are full of sound, most of which is not helpful to workers trying to do their jobs. Scientists are using physics to understand how conversation, music and other ambient noise is experienced by individuals in a variety of work situations. Takeshi Akita, of Tokyo Denki University, will present a talk on "Effects of sound source and its direction on subjects' impression of soundscape in workplace" at the 178th ASA Meeting.
