Is complete silence an excellent way to happiness?

An experiment, held in Hannover, shown that it is impossible to be productive in a situation where no sounds are coming from the surrounding. The architects have got a task to build a business center where no sound can come from the street. The walls were equipped with the highest level of noise isolation, windows with the triple protection and plastic panels, which in complex guaranteed the highest level of protection. In a week after first employees worked in the complex — everyone has been protesting that it is impossible to work in the complete silence. As a result, the administration equipped the building with the audio system, which plays street noise. In a few days, the working productivity had impressively increased.

Scientists concluded that sounds are stimulating the process of thinking. During the experiment two groups of people were working on the mathematical tasks, one group in the complete silence and the other one have been working with the sound of nature. The second group has completed the tasks faster, so the influence of sounds is obvious.
