subject: Drastic Reduction In Noise Levels In The Office Environment Using Soundproof Server Enclosures [print this page] I hadn't realised what I was letting myself in for when we deployed some active equipment into our office in a bid to maximise space and convenience of access. I thought that I would be setting up a compact modern set up however instead I was presented with what I could only describe as noise pollution, which leads to unwanted distractions, poor concentration, as well as a workforce complaining of headaches, earaches and other health queries that prevented them from working to their full potential.
I couldn't believe something so basic a necessity in a modern office could be such a problem. Due to the equipment we had and the nature in which it was configured it would have been a costly exercise to relocate to another part of the building not to mention the additional rent this would attract. My unhappy staff were also quoting EU working environment noise level regulations at me so I knew I had to do something before this got out of hand.
Internet research turned up a solution to my very problem and I discovered all about soundproof enclosures which looked like an answer to my prayers.
There are several solutions available on the market all of which I looked into closely as there is a dramatic difference in price and I didn't want to pay for something which wouldn't fix the problem satisfactorily. Having looked and had demonstrated to me at all the features and benefits of the soundproof enclosures out there I opted in the end for a UCoustic cabinet, which boasts the best sound attenuation on the market by far, but if I'm honest I chose it ostensibly for its looks!
Im overjoyed with the results, as are my staff who thankfully are now able to concentrate on their work again without the noise from the server distracting them. Our office is now tidier and we have a lot fewer wires lying around as we also managed to enclose other equipment in the cabinet making us a much more streamlined and professional in our work surroundings.
If you're in the market for a soundproof enclosure and you don't have time to see whats out there then don't worry and take my advice: opt for a UCoustic, performance-wise they outstrip the others I've had demonstrated and they're so stylish they've become a feature in our workspace.
