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 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. 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 as required by HIPPA and GLBA.
