What is It?
Sound masking introduces an unobtrusive, ambient background sound into the environment that renders speech unintelligible, while reducing interference from distracting surrounding sounds. It provides a random sound that does not carry information, and is non-directional and harmoniously uniform. Sound masking provides voice privacy, confidentiality, and protection of proprietary information. Other benefits include greater productivity, efficiency, and employee moral.
How Does it Work?
Sound masking works by producing sound electronically, similar to that of softly blowing air, which is projected through special Speakers installed above the tiles in the ceiling. This sound is evenly distributed throughout the area being masked and can be adjusted to the individual privacy requirements in any given area.
Sound masking is set one or two decibels above conversation level. By doing this, masking allows conversations to take place without disturbing others, thereby alleviating distractions from unwanted sounds.
