Sound Masking Services

Sound masking is adding background noise to offices, libraries, and other facilities to make speech from a distance unintelligible. The purpose of sound masking is to eliminate noisy distractions and also to protect any private information being spoken out loud.

Sound masking is not just white noise. It’s an ambient background sound that matches human speech frequency and, therefore, makes spaces seem quieter. Rather than just covering up sound with a type of buzzing noise, sound masking makes it so employees cannot understand what someone in another room is saying.

The purpose of sound masking is exactly what it sounds like — to mask, cover, or muffle, sound. White noise doesn’t do that. In order for white noise to effectively mask human speech, it must be amplified at a volume that makes it, to be quite frank, unbearable. Sound making is effective without being distracting. In fact, it helps workers focus more because it fades into the background of your workplace.
