The domestic environment plays a critical role in online education, particularly its acoustic aspect. This study investigates whether there are differences the perception of variables between students who perceive their academic performance as negative (G1) and those rate it positively (G2). It also explores assess quality education positive or negative, along with gender distinctions. Data were collected through an survey conducted by Universidad de Las Américas, Quito, Ecuador, during COVID-19 lockdown. Statistical analyses revealed significant noise groups G1 G2: Students rated negatively experienced higher interference from sources like voices household appliances. Similar patterns observed when assessing educational quality. Gender emerged, women reporting levels caused sound (voices, TV/Radio/household appliances, animals), development autonomous synchronous tasks than men. evaluated pairs suggest that these aspects should be taken into account designing spaces strategies to improve for students.
