SOUND MASKING

Enhance Privacy and Reduce Distractions

Sound masking is an audio technology designed to improve privacy and reduce distractions by introducing a low-level background noise that matches the frequency range of human speech. This ambient noise makes conversations less intelligible, enhancing focus and confidentiality in open offices, healthcare facilities, and other environments where privacy is essential. Sound masking systems include speakers installed in ceilings or walls and a control unit to adjust volume and frequency levels according to the space's acoustics. By blending unwanted noise with ambient sound, sound masking creates a more comfortable and productive atmosphere, reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being.

KEEP PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS PRIVATE

When correctly implemented the sound itself is imperceptible to the human ear but a colleague phone call that once would be a distraction is now ignored simply because the brain can not pick up the words that are being said.

The same is the case when implementing Sound Masking for privacy purposes. The same barrier to intelligibility can be used to prevent boardroom or consulting room conversations being unwittingly overheard by installing a masking system in the environment directly outside the sensitive location. Visual indication is also available within the room to advise users that their conversation is private.
