How does a hutch affect acoustics in an open office?

A hutch adds vertical surface area at seated eye level, which can provide minor acoustic benefit by absorbing or deflecting sound. However, hard-surface hutches (laminate or glass doors) reflect more sound than they absorb. For meaningful acoustic improvement, fabric-wrapped cubicle panels or dedicated acoustic accessories are more effective.
