\n

At the outset, let me say that this is the personal complaint of a consumer. However, I\u2019m airing it here because I believe it is also important to the future profitability of our readers\u2019 businesses.<\/p>\n

Over the last few years I have felt increasingly uncomfortable with the noise in public and commercial spaces.<\/p>\n

It may be that my sensitivity to this has increased with age, but it is a fact that noise levels have also increased dramatically in every urban public space around us. In fact, it has reached a point where I now feel that people involved in the architecture and design are either addicted to noise or, at the very least, completely immune to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I can\u2019t think of any other reason why locations such as retail stores, malls, restaurants, large office receptions, and other public spaces are designed and built so badly from the point of view of handling sound.<\/p>\n

Fundamentally Unsound<\/strong><\/p>\n

The retail soundscape, if I might call it that, is littered with noisy and uncomfortable spaces. Sound levels in busy restaurants and shopping malls can be as high as 70-110 decibels, which is the equivalent of a busy construction site. Sportswear stores play loud and fast-paced music throughout the day; are they trying to make you believe that you are in a nightclub at 11 a.m.? Internal equipment such as air-conditioning and fans add to noise levels. Restaurants and cafes are worse: noise sources include the kitchen, customers using the crockery and cutlery, chairs moving as people sit or leave, apart from the conversations going on.<\/p>\n

For sustained exposure, 80 dB is judged to be the outside limit, and we are frequently exposed to sound levels that are higher than that, for long periods of time.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it is also a vicious upward spiral of sound. Loudness feed loudness. We all raise our voices when we are competing with the surrounding sounds, and only end up adding to the noise further.<\/p>\n

Developers spend millions on picking the right stone, fancy fixtures and creative layouts to make the place \u201clook good\u201d. I don\u2019t remember ever coming across a retail space designer in India who says that the space should \u201csound good\u201d. Even stores selling high-end audio equipment are badly designed and executed!<\/p>\n

I remember sitting in a restaurant belonging to a popular Indian quick service chain after a \u201cmodern\u201d redesign. No matter how much I tried, I could not understand a word of what my wife is saying (and that\u2019s not just because we\u2019ve been married for so long!). The reason my wife was inaudible was the high level of ambient noise, echoing from all the hard surfaces around us. What was worse was that I could very clearly hear a stranger who was sitting 5 tables away because the false ceiling had dome that perfectly captured his voice and bounced it across the room to me.<\/p>\n

Toning it Down<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most basic thing to remember is this: noise has a negative impact. Not only are the customers uncomfortable, high noise levels actually interfere with the staff\u2019s health and performance. Noise increases physical and mental stress.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, if conversations are not possible at a normal volume and tone, we have to put in more effort into hearing and understanding what the other person is saying. There comes a point when we just give up. Can you imagine what impact that has on a sale?<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that noise can drive sales down by more than 80%. On the positive side, if sound is managed well, sales can rise by more than 1,000%! Isn\u2019t that worth looking into?<\/p>\n

A plea to architects and retail managers: do consider the fact that customers coming to the mall expect that space to be qualitatively different from an open market. Making a space noisy is not enough to recreate the feel of an open market \u2013 it only means that your space is noisy, and probably worse than an open market will be.<\/p>\n

Materials selected for building and fitting out the retail outlet, the mall or the restaurant can have huge implications for how sound is handled in that space. A lot of \u201cmodern\u201d design depends on hard, polished, reflective surfaces of stone, glass or metal. The floor, the ceiling and the walls, as well as the fixtures are all surfaces from which sound reflects back into the space, not just once but many times before it dies down. So not only do the sounds get amplified in such a space, the reflections also interfere with each other, adding to the problem.<\/p>\n

Not Just the Sounds of Silence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, just making every space a quiet \u201cdead\u201d space is not the answer. Sound and silence affect us positively as well as negatively.<\/p>\n

The ancients believed that sound could transform the energy of human beings and their surroundings, and from various base sounds they created \u201csimple\u201d beej mantras to complex Vedic chants. Anyone who has chanted or sung hymns, or even an old peppy film soundtrack knows that sound has the power to affect our moods.<\/p>\n

At one extreme, most people are uncomfortable in a heavy engineering factory, or for that matter, a modern shopping centre on a busy weekend, without realising why. At the other end, most people would also be uncomfortable in a recording studio, because it suppresses ambient sound as much as possible, leaving the space \u201cempty\u201d.<\/p>\n

In some cases (e.g. a night club, or discount store), sounds need to be louder to ensure that the place \u201cfeels\u201d lively, even when it is not full to capacity. In some places our enjoyment is enhanced by noise. Watching a cricket match in a stadium while wearing noise-cancelling headphones would hardly be as much fun. A school playground is \u201chappy\u201d when hundreds of children are running around screaming and shouting at the top of their voices, and \u201csolemn\u201d during a quiet morning assembly.<\/p>\n

In some cultures and countries, normal social interaction is \u201clouder\u201d than would be acceptable in others. (For example, a British acquaintance mentioned to me how heavily she felt \u201cthe sounds of silence\u201d when she moved back to England, after spending many years in Asia.)<\/p>\n

So the key is to first define the ambience and the mood that you want to create in your space. What is the objective: who do you want to attract, who do you want to send away? (For example, operators of public transportation systems have successfully used classical music to drive away loiterers who were undesirable.)<\/p>\n

Disney offers an inspiring example of how sound can be used. Over the years they have evolved systems combining sophisticated software and hardware in their amusement parks, such that you can walk through the whole park without the decibel-level changing too much. The music sets the appropriate mood for each specific zone. What\u2019s more, the transitions are smooth as you move between zones.<\/p>\n

Not everyone needs the sophistication of a Disney amusement park, but I believe it is worthwhile for most retailers to think about how sound is affecting people in their stores.<\/p>\n

I would urge you, at the very least, to look at how it impacts conversations between customers, and between the customer and members of the serving staff, because that will definitely impact sales.<\/p>\n

A leading cafe chain proclaims: \u201cA lot can happen over coffee\u201d. Yes, it can; but not if you make conversation impossible.<\/p>\n

Try it. Tone it down. You\u2019ll see an upswing in productivity, sales and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n
