Acoustic booths as an investment: calculating the ROI

After an interruption a worker needs an average of 23 minutes to return to the task. We work out how much office noise actually costs.

Acoustic booths as an investment: calculating the ROI

An acoustic booth costs money. But office noise costs more — that bill is simply hidden in lost productivity. Let us do the maths.

The cost of an interruption

Studies show that after an interruption a worker needs an average of 23 minutes to return fully to the task. In an open-plan space there are dozens of interruptions a day — from other people’s conversations, calls and discussions nearby.

A simple calculation

Picture a team of 20 people. If each one loses just 30 minutes a day to noise and interruptions, that is 10 hours of productivity every day, or more than 200 hours a month. Converted into salaries, that adds up to thousands of euros lost every month.

A few Solo booths at €4,290 pay for themselves through recovered productivity faster than you would think — especially in teams staffed by expensive specialists.

The Cloud model: a booth that earns

For public locations there is an even more direct ROI. A Cloud booth with pay-by-the-hour rental pays for itself in around 6 months with a footfall of 200+ people a day. The booth does not just save money — it generates revenue.
