We've all been there. That long Team video call. You're dying for a cuppa, but the deafening boil blast from your kettle means not only would you not be able to hear the call, but you'd have to mute your mic, and the moment you do that is the moment your boss asks you that important question! Not to worry... Thanks to the manufactures of these Quiet Mark certified Kettle and Coffee Machines, you can brew while you Zoom!
Quiet Mark’s expert team of acousticians conduct extensive testing in Quiet Mark’s specialist acoustic test lab, which has been designed to be representative of a real home environment, with the reflective surfaces found in a modern kitchen, has also shown that proficient performing Kettles, from an acoustic standpoint, comprise generally of a broadband sound (flat across all frequency spectrum) and benefit from being slightly weighted towards the mid-low and low-frequency range (everything below 500Hz). This frequency distribution translates into a perception of 'richness', showing that the unit is sufficiently powerful, whilst minimising its 'sharpness', which typically relates to an excess of high-end frequencies.
Sharpness is an attribute commonly related to disruption and annoyance. Tonal components (frequency bands that are more than 6 dB above frequency bands directly above or below), can often become a source of disturbance too.
Quiet Mark does the science. The distinctive purple Q logo on a product means it's one of the quietest available on the market. With the growth of Work From Home, consumers need to create the most productive and peaceful domestic soundscapes. Quiet Mark makes it easier for them to do so.

And finally... Did you know that your coffee tastes better in quiet spaces?
A new study shows loud noise affects how people experience the bitterness, acidity, sweetness and aroma of their daily brew.
The study published in the Food Quality & Preference journal found that people were “less sensitive to specific sensory and hedonic attributes” of coffee under louder conditions. In particular, noise affected the bitterness, acidity, sweetness and aroma.
