Professional Sound Masking

Sound Masking Systems

Professional design and installation using Biamp (Cambridge) equipment and technology for optimal acoustic privacy in commercial spaces.

How Does Sound Masking Work?

Sound masking is a specially tuned ambient background sound that targets the same frequency as human speech, reducing its intelligibility.

Important Note

Sound masking does not cancel sound, but it makes conversations heard at a distance more difficult to understand, and thus less likely to distract.

15 Feet

Effective distance threshold

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 Unaffected

Face to face collaboration with fellow employees is not impacted, as conversations at a distance fade into the background and speech privacy is protected.

Sound Masking Protects Speech Privacy

Speech privacy refers to the ability of an unintended listener to understand another person's conversation.

Hard to Understand

When speech is hard to understand or unintelligible — workers tend to not even notice it.

It simply fades into the background, allowing employees to focus on their work without distraction.

Improved concentration
Enhanced productivity
Reduced stress levels

Easy to Understand

When speech is easy to understand or intelligible — it becomes very distracting.

Overhearing conversations interferes with your internal monologue and makes concentration difficult.

Constant interruptions
Decreased focus
Lower productivity
Sound masking makes speech unintelligible, creating a more productive workspace
