In the midst of the global crisis and widespread shift to remote work, many people have found it difficult to adapt to the new conditions. Belgian programmer Stéphanie Pigeon sought to ease this challenge by developing a unique tool — an office noise generator.
In her blog, Pigeon described how the idea for the generator came about after numerous requests from users struggling with the silence of their home environments. According to her, for many people accustomed to the noise of an office setting, working in silence can be a real challenge. The new generator allows users to recreate a familiar work atmosphere by adding various sounds such as air conditioning, colleague conversations, a working photocopier, and more.
The official MyNoise website now offers the ability to customize your own office noise program. The generator includes ten different components that can be mixed and adjusted using a volume switch. Among these are room noise, keyboard and mouse sounds, clock ticking, and other elements of the office sound environment.
Early users have noted that this tool truly helps alleviate the discomfort of an overly quiet setting, especially for those who have not fully adapted to remote work. As offices empty out and many employees prefer to work from home or have lost their jobs entirely, this generator becomes an essential aid in creating a comfortable work environment.
