Why Sound Masking?

Picture of a noisy office

When mentioning sound masking many people have no idea what it is and how useful it may be for the productivity of your office. Some people may have never even heard of it, which in nature may be by design, but it is important especially for office managers and business owners to understand the importance and benefit of a sound masking system in your office.

In the simplest terms, sound masking is the process of projecting a background noise throughout a particular space in order to reduce noise pollution, protect speech privacy and improve productivity by creating a safer and more comfortable environment for everyone in the office. The background noise being added into the environment works as a noise cancelling mechanism, reducing the distance sound can travel throughout the office before it fades out. This is especially important for environments like call centers and office spaces with many cubicles, which are often always polluted with a ton of noise and conversation throughout the space.

To project this noise throughout the office, we install noise amplifiers or speakers strategically throughout an open space, making sure every inch of the space is covered and everybody in the office feels more comfortable and secure with a higher level of privacy.
