creating a productive environment.
With companies overestimating the ability
of their employees to drown out noise with
headphones, acoustics are all too o¤ en
an a¤ erthought in workplace design and
construction. However, the consequences of not
doing so are quite significant.
One of the main complaints from employees is
that they are constantly distracted by unwanted

noise around them. The
ideal work environment
should have a healthy
amount of background
sound. Just not loud
enough to be able to
decipher what the people
around us are talking about.
So how do we manage noise pollution ~ Add
More Sound!
Sound masking systems emits a so¤ ,
inconspicuous background sound with the use of
a loudspeaker system. It can be compared to so¤ ly
blowing air. The ambient sound level becomes
more uniform and otherwise noisy distractions are
muž led by the sound masking.
Though adding more sound appears to
contradict the goal of controlling noise, it is a
necessary step. It covers up conversations and
noise occurring at a distance and reduces the
intelligibility and disruptive impact of those
happening closer to you, making them less
distracting.
Sound masking works to cover an entire
workspace. When installed correctly, the sound
masking benefits will follow you, no matter where
you are in the general area. These systems are also
diž erent because they are specifically designed to
fall within the range of a comfortable frequency for
the human ear. So, as an audio solution, it can be
both practical and calming.
