Table 6.
Mean (Mn) and mode (Mo) values of the answers on noise annoyance related to the self-estimated presence of acoustic treatment in shared and open-plan offices, and two-tailed p-values of significance of the difference between the presence and absence of treatment, according to the MWU Test, for both types of offices. Any statistically significant differences, with p-values < 0.05, are reported in bold.
