More than half (54%) of office workers in the UK and US surveyed by IRIS Clarity say they wear headphones to block out unwanted noise, compared to 46% who say they like the buzz of a busy office. Male respondents are more likely to thrive on office noise (53%) than female respondents who tend to prefer quieter offices (58%).
When asked if they wished their working space was quieter, 79% of UK respondents said they did, compared to 63% of respondents from the US, perhaps due to the preponderance of open plan offices in the UK. IRIS Clarity is an AI-powered voice isolation app that removes distracting background noise from video meetings and customer calls.
