You’re catching up with an old friend at a cafe. Or maybe you’re at a networking lunch, or winding down after work over drinks at a restaurant. What is one thing that would, without fail, taint the entire experience? For me, it’s noise. Not just obnoxiously loud chatter, but the kind of intrusive, inescapable noise made worse by poor acoustic design. Think the clang of cutlery, the screech of chairs dragged across bare floors, the shrill hiss and rumble of an espresso machine.

Museum visits can be semi-intimidating. You listen to a passionate docent tell you about an artefact’s rich history. Then at the end of the tour, they ask: Any questions? You have several. Why is a vase pink? Why does the man look so sad in the photograph? Why do these people have their portrait displayed in a museum? But of course, you don’t ask.
