Amazon’s corporate campus features large open-plan offices designed for collaboration and flexibility. While these spaces encourage teamwork, they also created significant acoustic challenges due to high ceilings, hard surfaces, and densely packed workstations. Excessive noise negatively impacted employee focus, productivity, and satisfaction.

CHALLENGE

High ambient noise from conversations, phone calls, and office equipment Reverberation and echo caused by high ceilings and reflective surfaces Speech intelligibility issues, making conference calls and team discussions difficult Aesthetic requirements, as the solution had to blend seamlessly with Amazon’s modern interior design

SOLUTION

All Noise Control conducted a detailed acoustic assessment, mapping noise hotspots and reflection points across the office space. Based on this analysis: Custom acoustic ceiling baffles were designed to target mid-and high-frequency reflections.Baffles were installed in staggered arrays above collaborative zones, phone areas, and open desks. Materials were selected to balance acoustic performance with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Installation was phased during non-peak hours to avoid disruption.

RESULTS

  • Ambient noise reduced by 40%, measured using sound level meters before and after installation.
  • Reverberation time (RT60) improved by 35–50%, resulting in clearer communication.
  • Employee surveys showed a 60% improvement in perceived acoustic comfort.
  • Teams reported enhanced focus, reduced stress, and improved collaboration efficiency.
  • The modular design allowed future reconfiguration as office layouts evolved.
