Sound masking is the process of adding familiar background noise, such as distant human speech to an environment. Sound masking devices reduce the intelligibility of speech and help mitigate other noise distractions. Incorporating sound masking technology ensures that speech privacy is protected and makes employees more comfortable in their work environment. Reducing noise distractions increases focus and leads to a boost in productivity.
By integrating into a digital signage solution, product and company information can be shown to inform and entertain customers while they wait, thereby reducing customers’ perceived wait time, as well as creating opportunities for upselling. Customers are more likely to absorb the information shown on the screen while they wait to be served, and if the information is relevant to the customer, their service experience can also be enhanced.
How Does Sound Masking Work
Sound masking reduces/minimizes noise distractions, in open spaces, leading to a more productive work environment. Today’s offices and buildings have been built to encourage interaction and teamwork, by making use of open plan offices with low desk dividers. Although this design has positively affected team collaboration, hard, reverberant surfaces such as glass and concrete, both prevalent in modern offices propagate and reflect, rather than absorb, noise. Sound masking allows spaces to retain the slick, minimalist design that dominates modern office spaces, whilst creating a soundscape that allows for fewer disturbances and aids employee well-being and productivity.

Where Is Sound Masking Used
Commercial Office Sound Masking Systems
Implementing sound masking technology into the office environment ensures that conversations are private, increasing employee comfort. Decreasing noise distractions also increase employee focus and productivity.
Sound Masking In Educational Facilities
Students require an environment that is free from noise distractions, especially in areas such as the library, study spaces and classrooms, while studying or writing tests and exams. Student information is also confidential, which is why it’s important to ensure that this sensitive information remains private while being collected.
