Acoustic comfort
All around the world, the general noise level is at an alarmingly high level.

All around the world, the general noise level is at an alarmingly high level. As you are exposed to this soundtrack of modern life day and night, you are bound to reach the limit of what you can stand rather quickly. Today, any kind of protection from noise definitely helps to improve our mental and physical well-being. It is a well-known fact that noise pollution not only makes relaxation more difficult. It also causes physical stress and even pain and thus poses a serious health threat.
- 80 million EU citizens are exposed to the noise.
- Further 170 million live in acoustic grey zones that seriously affect people's well-being.
- Result of this negative health impact: the EU's GDP is cut down by an estimated 0.2 to 2%
- Annual follow-up costs: well over 12 billion euros*.
