Sound masking is a popular acoustic technology that makes an office more comfortable and private by reducing noise distractions. It is the process of adding a special background sound to reduce ambient noise distractions, protect speech privacy and increase office comfort. It is a cost-efficient way to protect private conversations, thus increasing focus and productivity of the employees.
A sound masking system emits a low volume special ambient sound “whoosh” type, similar to the sound of airflow, that’s specifically engineered to the frequency of human speech to target conversational distractions and make them less distracting. This ambient sound is engineered to match the frequency of human speech for greater speech privacy.
Recent university surveys have shown that the implementation of sound masking technology in office spaces has increased the confidentiality of speech privacy between 55-90%!
Sound masking does not cancel sound, but it makes conversations heard at a distance more difficult to understand, and thus less likely to distract. Simply put, conversations that would normally distract someone at a distance of over 15 feet in the workplace will be notably less intelligible or noticeable. Face to face collaboration with fellow employees is not impacted, as conversations at a distance fade into the background and speech privacy is protected.
ABAS cooperates with CAMBRIDGE SOUND MANAGEMENT USA company, which is the world leader manufacturer in noise masking systems and trusted by over 20,000 companies worldwide with impressive references.
CAMBRIDGE SOUND MANAGEMENT revolutionized the sound masking industry with the development of the direct field sound masking technology with results in a consistent and comfortable ambient sound throughout the space.
How Does Sound Masking Work? Sound masking is ambient background sound engineered to match the frequency of human speech for greater speech privacy. Adding sound to a space actually makes the space seem quieter. This is because the added sound reduces the intelligibility of human speech.
