Quiet Mark~(CTM) - Giving consumers the choice to buy quiet

摘要

Ever since the industrial revolution, it has been assumed that noise is the price we pay for technological progress. People tend not to question the dominating sound outputs of the appliances they share their home with.rnHowever, exposure to loud, unexpected noise, or low continual sound vibration, triggers strong physical and emotional responses , depending on the volume, the length of time and the sound quality and context - we all know what sounds we like and which ones we hate.rnQuiet Mark~(CTM) is the international mark of approval award programme from the UK Noise Abatement Society which was launched in January 2012 encouraging worldwide companies to develop noise reduction within the design of everyday machines and appliances, and driven by increasing consumer demand. This is a charity led initiative working together with industry to transform our living and working aural environments to become healthier and less stressed, the objective to increase productivity, creativity and general enjoyment of life.
