Which of the following is true?

  • Noise always affects the standard of work for every person.
  • Noise has absolutely no measurable impact on a person's work.
  • Noise does affect the standard of work with certain people.

Explanation from PART66Online

Sensitivity to noise varies between individuals, so noise degrades the standard of work for certain people while others are less affected, making the qualified statement the accurate one. Absolute claims that noise always affects everyone, or has no measurable impact at all, overstate the case in opposite directions.

I can't agree with you. Speak generally, music is not classfied as a noise. I think option A is more reasonable.

I was not talking literally about music, i was taking just an analogy, i recommend you to go through CAP 715 & CAP 716,

i wonder you if you think the same about stress and fatigue as-well, if it is so, i recommend you to go through those publications i mentioned earlier.

Below i've pasted few lines from CAP 716:

"Noise is covered, to a certain extent, in CAP715, in connection with hearing. It can
detrimentally affect human performance interms of damaging hearing, interfering
with speech communication, and affecting concentration and performance on
cognitive tasks. It can also be fatiguing. Effects vary between individuals, and noise
of a certain type and level may be good for one individual but bad for another, in terms
of task performance and errors."
