Sound Masking Systems
Turn Down the Volume, Get More Done
Modern workspaces are designed for collaboration, but open layouts often mean more distractions. Without proper noise control, productivity and privacy take a hit.
Sound masking is a simple yet effective solution that blends background sound to reduce distractions, allowing teams to focus and maintain confidentiality in any space.
Sound Masking Works By

Emitting Pink Noise
A low-frequency, consistent sound that blends naturally with ambient noise. Unlike white noise, it’s smoother and effectively masks distractions without being intrusive.

Strategically Placed Speakers
Speakers are positioned throughout the space to distribute the pink noise evenly, ensuring consistent coverage without creating any hot spots or uneven sound.

Enhancing Focus & Privacy
The sound is designed to be unnoticeable—just a subtle background hum that masks distractions. It helps maintain focus and privacy without drawing attention.

Improve Office Comfort & Acoustics
Creates a pleasant background sound that blends seamlessly with the space, improving the overall office atmosphere.
FAQs
Get the answers you need about sound masking. How it works, what it costs, and why it is a game changer for privacy and productivity.
What is the drawback of sound masking?
Sound masking reduces distractions but will not eliminate all background noise. Sudden or loud sounds like sirens or shouting can still be heard.
How much does a sound masking system cost?
Costs vary based on layout and installation complexity. On average, expect $4 to $8 per square foot.
For example, a 6,000-square-foot office would range from $24,000 to $42,000. Areas like stairwells, bathrooms, and mechanical rooms typically do not require coverage.
Can I control the volume of the sound masking system?
Yes. Systems can be adjusted to fit your office layout and needs. Many offer zone-based control for different areas.
Do I need sound masking if I already have carpets and acoustic panels?
While carpets and panels help absorb sound, they do not mask speech. Sound masking fills the gaps, ensuring a more balanced sound environment.
Will it affect my music, phone calls, or video meetings?
Not at all. Sound masking is set at a frequency that targets background speech without interfering with your calls or music.
