freiraum Akustik provides digital tools to optimize office acoustics

Heidelberg-based company freiraum Akustik is addressing the issue of poor acoustics in established office environments. Recognizing that noise issues like echoing conversations and distracting phone calls often only become apparent once an office is fully operational, the company provides solutions to reduce reverberation through targeted planning rather than generic sound absorber application.

To assist clients, the company offers several digital planning tools, including a room acoustics planner to estimate the required absorption area and a ‘View in Your Room’ feature that allows customers to virtually visualize acoustic art on their walls. For more complex projects, the firm provides personal acoustic consulting and on-site acoustic measurements. Managing Director Lisa O’Connor-The emphasizes that acoustic optimization should be treated as an integral part of interior design rather than a mere technical afterthought.
