Study on the Effect of Keyboard Tapping Sounds on Work Efficiency in University Open-plan Research Offices
This paper was aimed at exploring the effect of keyboard tapping sounds on the work efficiency of personnel in open-plan research offices in universities through an experimental study.During the experiment,keyboard tapping sounds were presented at three levels:45 dB(A),50 dB(A),and 55 dB(A).In addition,a"quiet"environment where no sound was played was set as the control group.A total of 25 subjects were recruited for a short-term memory experiment to test their objective performance and subjective feelings under four different sound environments.Based on these objective and subjective results,this paper delved into the differences in the effect of keyboard tapping sounds at different sound pressure levels on work efficiency and the influence of personal factors on the experimental results.The results indicated that keyboard tapping sounds can affect the objective performance and subjective feelings of the subjects,and the effect is related to the sound pressure level of the keyboard tapping.In addition,compared to a"quiet"environment,keyboard tapping at an appropriate sound pressure level has a positive impact on short-term memory tasks.
