Ask HN: Best Engineering Office Decorations

2 pointsdbrgn1 comment

We recently moved into a new office and it's still pretty empty.

What are the best things to put in an engineering office to make it more awesome and also to reduce reverb?

The best thing to put into an office to improve acoustics is an acoustic tile ceiling. The next best thing is carpet. The third best thing is thing is white noise from the HVAC and upholstered cubical panels or alternatively gypsum board with sound attenuation batts to create private offices.

That's the engineering based approach based on the principles of physics.

Good luck.
