Noise Is the New Burnout.
Akoio helps leaders understand how noise impacts people, performance, and culture.
And why addressing auditory health is a strategic advantage. Trusted by organizations that lead with empathy and innovation.
Why It Matters
Noise is one of the most overlooked disruptors in today’s workplace — yet it’s a leading contributor to reduced performance. Constant exposure to background noise leads to auditory fatigue, which quietly erodes focus, productivity, and cognitive performance throughout the day.

By addressing workplace noise, businesses can unlock measurable gains in efficiency, employee well-being, and overall output. Simply put: less noise, better work.

We help teams perform at their best by delivering educational workshops, evidence-based insights, and human-centered solutions that reduce noise and improve performance.

We help companies raise awareness, take decisive action, and track measurable progress. By transforming complex concepts into clear, compelling stories, we spark understanding and inspire change.
