The superheroes
of sound masking.

What do all superheroes have in common? They save the world with superpowers, but they all do it in a disguise.

Sound masking
summarized.

Superheroes save the world with super strength, the ability to fly or with the help of a really cool car, but they all do it in a disguise. Their craft is a masquerade of sorts. The same goes for sound masking. Its job is to hide other sounds but not change or eliminate the substance of them.

Within people’s personal space, noise cancellation is possible through the use of things like headphones or ear plugs. But, in larger spaces, this level of intimacy is lost and sound masking, not noise cancellation, is used. However, finding the right level of ambient background noise is the key to success because the sound masking noise cannot turn into a distraction itself.

Why sound masking is more popular then ever.

Sound masking is all about privacy. Whether it’s about confidentiality or freedom from distractions, these systems are put in place to protect it.

Sound masking,
value defined.

Sound masking is one of the most cost-effective things a business can do to reduce unwanted noise and increase speech privacy.

Adding sound masking to a facility yields a significant return-on-investment through increased employee productivity. A study by the Data Management Association found that open-plan workplaces that lack sound masking systems experience a 40 percent loss in productivity and 27 percent more errors.

Installing a sound masking system can also help companies save money on new construction projects. Workspaces with sound masking systems require less insulation in interior walls, as well as less expensive ceiling tile and lower partitions, saving companies up to $3 per square foot.
