Why Training Room Acoustics Matter in Call Centres & Contact Centres
Acoustic performance in a training room directly impacts the functionality and occupant experience of call centres & contact centres buildings. The RT60 target of ≤0.6s is set to ensure that the space meets its intended purpose, whether that involves speech intelligibility, noise control, or sound isolation from adjacent areas.
The key metric of STI ≥0.60 addresses the primary acoustic concern for this room type. Achieving this target typically requires a combination of absorptive surface treatments, appropriate construction mass, and careful attention to flanking paths and HVAC noise contributions.
Simultaneously achieving speech privacy (STI < 0.50 beyond distraction distance) and speech intelligibility for callers on the phone, requiring precise calibration of absorption, screening, and sound masking within a high-density open-plan layout.
