Friends at the next table, telling their best jokes while laughing out loud. Background music is so loud that it kills the mood. Tight tables that allow you to enjoy the neighbors’ discussions. The ring of dishes that go to the head. Noise in restaurants, cafes and bars can turn a supposedly quiet and pleasant meal into a stressful experience.
A problem that particularly affects companies located in big cities.
And you, are you often bothered by noise in restaurants, bars or cafes? In which types of companies do you find the noise the most unbearable? Where do you live and how old are you? Which noise pollution annoys you the most? The music, the conversations of other customers, the traffic on the street? During which types of meetings (professional, family, romantic) do you most object? In these cases, do you intervene to stop them or reduce them? Have you ever left a restaurant in a hurry because you couldn’t get past it? Do you often choose your café, bar or restaurant based on the noise level?
