It can bring peace and comfort
It helps stop voice leaks
It prevents further noise inspections
It increases privacy
It stops airborne sounds
It helps to avoid flanking transmissions
It helps to prevent impact sounds
It promotes human health and safety in commercial and residential areas (in accordance with WHO 2000 guidelines)
