The open office problem

Silence is distracting. Noise is worse.

In a quiet office, every keyboard click is a small interruption. Every phone call carries across the room. Every cough, every chair squeak, every conversation three desks over — your brain catalogs each one. It never stops.

Researchers at the University of Chicago found that moderate ambient sound — around 70 decibels, roughly the level of a busy coffee shop — actually improves creative thinking. Not by adding stimulation, but by creating just enough consistent texture to free the mind from tracking every small disruption.

That's the paradox. Complete silence makes the brain hypervigilant. Random noise overwhelms it. Background music sits in the middle — a steady, intentional layer that gives the auditory system something to settle into.

But there's a catch. The wrong music is worse than no music at all. Lyrics compete with language processing. Unpredictable tempo breaks concentration. Familiar tracks trigger memory instead of focus. The music that helps work happen is specific. Puana is built around exactly that.

Designed for the workday

Different hours need different energy.

An office isn't one mood all day. Morning arrivals feel different from deep-work hours. Lunch feels different from the afternoon push. Puana lets you schedule different sounds for every part of the day — in 15-minute blocks, with automatic transitions. Set it once. It runs itself.

8 AM

Arrival energy

Light acoustic, warm instrumentals. People settle in without being rushed. A gentle warm-up for the day.

10 AM

Deep focus

Ambient textures, minimal electronics. No lyrics, no surprises. The kind of sound that disappears into concentration.

12 PM

Lunch break

Indie, bossa nova, something with life. The room loosens up. Conversations happen. Energy resets.

2 PM

Afternoon reset

Beat-driven but controlled. Lo-fi, downtempo grooves. Enough pulse to carry through the post-lunch dip.

4 PM

Wind-down

Mellow jazz, soft electronic. The pace eases. People wrap up projects without the room feeling dead.

6 PM

After-hours

Events, team drinks, late workers. Something social — funk, soul, a little more personality in the room.

From a small-town cafe to your office

“The regulars who stayed for hours — the writers, the remote workers, the people who came back every single day — they always said the same thing. It's the music.”

My cafe is a small place on the lake town. Seasonal. Not the kind of spot that shows up on tech blogs. But something kept happening there that Jesse Meria couldn't ignore.

People would come in for a coffee and stay for four hours. Laptops open. Headphones off. Working. Not because the Wi-Fi was fast — it was fine, nothing special. Not because of the seating. They stayed because the room felt right. The music held a space that let them think.

When Jesse asked what kept them coming back, nobody said “the playlist.” They said the atmosphere. The feeling. The fact that they could concentrate here in a way they couldn't at home or at their own office.

That was the start of Puana — the idea that the right background music doesn't just fill silence. It shapes how people work. And every office deserves that.

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Can I use this in a shared workspace or coworking space?

Yes. Puana is designed for shared workspaces — private offices, coworking spaces, shared studios, conference rooms. Each location gets its own schedule, volume settings, and team access. One subscription per location.

What about headphone use vs. speakers?

Puana works both ways. Play through a shared speaker system for the whole office, or let individual team members stream through headphones at their desks. The business subscription covers the space — how people listen is up to them.

Will the music distract people?

The opposite. Research shows that moderate background sound — around 70 dB — enhances creative thinking and helps mask distracting office noise. Puana's office-friendly tracks are composed to sit below conversation, not compete with it. No lyrics during focus hours, no sudden volume changes, no jarring transitions.

Can different teams or floors have different music?

Yes. Multi-location support means each floor, wing, or office can run its own schedule with its own genres and energy levels. Manage them all from one dashboard.

How is this different from a personal streaming service?

Personal services are built for one person at a time. Puana is built for a room — continuous playback, scheduling, multi-device sync across one Wi-Fi, an explicit-content filter, analytics, and a catalog written for the rhythm of a working day.

Can I control what plays without giving everyone admin access?

Yes. Staff members get play and pause controls. Managers get scheduling, genre selection, and settings. Each person gets their own access level — no shared passwords, no accidental schedule changes.
