# Noise in the workplace: a stark reality check

 Sep 27, 2024, 2:55:51 PM

**An impact on daily life**

"Nearly half of working people (45%) say that noise at work has at least some impact on their ears in their daily lives." This finding is more pronounced among those under 35 (52%).

**Discomfort due to noise exposure**

"33% of workers report difficulty understanding speech and 30% report ringing or buzzing in their ears due to noise exposure."

**Resulting fatigue**

"60% and 50% of respondents in this Ifop study mention “fatigue, weariness and irritability” and stress due to noise exposure at work."

**Psychological distress**

Psychological distress is very much present, affecting 31% of workers, 61% of whom are often bothered by noise at work. The main causes are said to be misunderstandings with management, tensions and aggression within teams.

**Insufficient solutions**

Although progress seems to be being made in the industrial and construction sectors, the implementation of solutions remains largely limited. Awareness-raising initiatives remain stable and limited. However, employees are willing to work with their employers to create interior designs that incorporate plants and other natural elements. This could contribute to a better atmosphere, reduce stress and create a healthier environment through the use of appropriate indoor plants.
