“I miss the office”: a website that recreates the sound environment of printers, work colleagues and fans

One more week, millions of people continue to be confined in our houses and thus curb the number of infections by coronaviruses. This means that many people, who normally work in an office, have you follow teletrabajando from their homes.

Obviously, the home environment has nothing to do with the that is in an office, and that can also be seen in the sound. If we are very accustomed to the hustle and bustle of our co-workers, perhaps costing us to focus on this new sound environment.

“You feel normal while you work from home”

‘I Miss The Office‘(I miss the office) is a web page precisely will generate a sound environment that reminds us of an office, if that helps us to be more productive.

“A noise generator for office which provides users with the relaxing tones and irritants of modern life in the office, to help them concentrate and to feel normal while working from home”.

One of the most eye-catching of this website is its minimalist design and that are dominated by pastel colors. We will see that there are different “rooms” and in them a few geometric shapes of colors.

Each of these geometric figures representing a co-workerand in the bottom right we can add them (up to a maximum of ten) or reduce them (leaving the office empty, if you want).

We’ll just give the play button that appears in the bottom left to start listening to this virtual office. Keyboard sounds, fans, and voices distant are blended seamlessly.

The truth is that the experience is very credibleand you don’t have the feeling that it is repeating all the time the same sound environment. In addition, it may be a good idea if your house is too noisy and you decide to submerge yourself in this office dummy with your headphones.
