We had a fantastic afternoon at the House of Lords for a parliamentary reception exploring how the sound in our environment can negatively affect us all.
The event featured thought-provoking talks from Julian Treasure, a world authority on sound, noise and human behaviour; Ben Hancock, Managing Director of Oscar Acoustics; and Marion Marincat, Founder of Sownd Affects.
Marion introduced Sownd Certification, the world’s first accreditation recognising spaces with proven acoustic performance as audio-inclusive.
We were especially pleased to see the Oscar Innovation Centre, designed by Urban and Rural, highlighted during the presentation. It is one of the first workplace environments to be awarded Sownd Certification.
