Office Noise Reduction Solutions in Milwaukee
Open office plans in Milwaukee face challenges with noise, distractions and echo. Bern Office Systems provides proven office noise reduction solutions to restore quiet, protect privacy and boost productivity. We help you manage your workspace by absorbing sound, masking speech and creating private, focused zones.
Tell us the noise challenges you face. We will recommend the right equipment to solve the issue. Our services include full office design and space planning to integrate these solutions perfectly.
Stop Echo and Noise with Acoustic Panels
The biggest problem in many open offices is reverberation, or echo. Hard surfaces like glass, wood floors and concrete walls bounce sound around. The echoes turn every conversation and phone call into a public distraction. The most effective solution is sound absorption.
We use acoustic panels and baffles to absorb this extra sound, improve speech clarity and minimize background noise. Our team can help you design and install these solutions without sacrificing your office style.
Loftwall Acoustic Baffles and Panels
We offer and install noise reduction products from Loftwall. These solutions are highly effective and add a modern design element to your space.
- Ceiling Baffles: Hanging baffles are perfect for controlling noise in large, open areas with high ceilings, like conference rooms or busy workspaces.
- Modular Wall Panels: These panels can be configured to any space, adding visual appeal while absorbing sound.
- Eco-friendly Materials: Loftwall products are a sustainable choice for enhancing your office acoustics.
MergeWorks Acoustic Solutions
We also utilize MergeWorks products to design and install solutions that fit your budget and decor. These include:
- Wall Panels: Enhance room acoustics while serving as artistic, tackable design elements.
- Desk Dividers: Acoustic desk partitions provide workstation-level privacy and sound absorption, reducing cross-talk between employees.
- Customizable Options: Choose from many colors and designs to complement your office.
Create Total Privacy with Office Pods

Sometimes your team needs a place for complete quiet and privacy. An office phone booth or privacy pod is the best solution for confidential calls or focused work. These freestanding structures can be placed anywhere in your open office without construction.
We offer the Loftwall Rooms line of modular privacy pods. These "space-within-a-space" solutions provide a quiet, enclosed area for employees. They are a popular and effective way to give staff a quiet escape right in the middle of a busy floor plan.
Mask Distractions with Sound Masking
While panels absorb echo, sound masking systems cover distracting human speech. These systems introduce a subtle, ambient background sound (often compared to quiet airflow) that matches the frequency of speech. This makes nearby conversations less intelligible and easier to ignore.
Cambridge Sound Masking Systems
Using state-of-the-art solutions from Cambridge, we can design and install a sound masking system that:
- Blends seamlessly into your office layout.
- Provides consistent, uniform sound coverage.
- Integrates with paging and background music systems.
This technology is extremely effective for protecting speech privacy and reducing distractions in open-plan offices.

Every office is unique. Our team works with you to assess your layout, identify specific noise problems and develop a custom strategy. We handle the complete project. Our professional installation services will set up your new acoustic panels, privacy pods, or sound masking systems correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Office Noise
What is the difference between sound absorption and sound masking?
Sound absorption (acoustic panels) reduces noise and echo within a room by "soaking up" sound. Sound masking (white noise systems) adds a comfortable, low-level sound to the environment to cover or "mask" human speech and make it less distracting.
How do office phone booths work?
Office phone booths, like Loftwall Rooms, are self-contained pods built with sound-dampening materials and acoustic insulation. They provide a quiet space for private calls or focused work and stop noise from getting in or out.
Can acoustic panels match my office design?
Yes. Both MergeWorks and Loftwall offer a wide variety of fabrics, colors, shapes and sizes. Panels can be used to create a feature wall or blend seamlessly into your existing decor.
Do you install the soundproofing equipment?
Yes, our professional teams handle the complete installation for all the solutions we sell, including panels, baffles, sound masking systems and privacy pods.
