Excessive noise can overwhelm one's senses, making it challenging to concentrate, think clearly, or focus on specific tasks. Such sounds pervade various environments, including open offices, public transportation, and even homes.

As these situations become increasingly common, how can we concentrate on conversations with others in noisy environments without being disrupted by irrelevant noise?

Realistic Zoom breakout sessions

Noice emerged to address the challenge of communicating in noisy environments by creating individual bubbles for groups, enabling focused conversations, like realistic Zoom breakout sessions in real life.
