Desk corner
Listen for fan tone, wall bounce behind the monitor, and the way speech carries behind the chair.
Rooms
Ciomu does not score rooms against a single ideal. A kitchen should keep enough brightness for work. A desk corner should keep speech legible without broadcasting it. An entry should signal arrival without turning every door into a percussion instrument. The room sheet format keeps these jobs separate so a fix in one place does not create a problem in another.

Listen for fan tone, wall bounce behind the monitor, and the way speech carries behind the chair.
Track counter reflections, hard storage, extractor rhythm, water noise, and morning peak clatter.
Check door seals, floor slap, stairwell echo, key trays, and where outside noise announces itself.
Separate welcome liveliness from the sounds that make people withdraw or repeat themselves.
Notice low bass, device alerts, hallway transfer, fabric depth, and the room tone after lights dim.
