Humans also have limits to the amount of stress their senses can withstand.
Noisy laser printers and phone conversations can lead to overload on human
hearing. Office workers can wear noise-canceling headphones or get a personal
music player like an iPod, but these solutions may have the effect of isolating a
person from the organizational setting and may even diminish their capability to
perform the task at hand. As an analyst you will need to consider noise when you
design office systems.
