Abstract
This paper describes the new software and gives results of measurements in a number of open-plan offices. Example measurements show the effects of ceiling absorption and panel height as well as furniture arrangements. Privacy measurements can be obtained between adjacent workstations or over larger distances, without loud test sounds, by using synchronous averaging with impulse response measurements.
