Sound Masking
Speech Privacy. Reduced Distractions. Acoustic Comfort.
Open offices, glass-walled conference rooms, and shared workspaces create speech privacy challenges. Sound masking generates engineered background sound that reduces speech intelligibility between spaces, protecting confidential conversations and reducing distraction without creating noise.

The Problem You Can Hear
In open office environments and buildings with glass-walled conference rooms, conversations carry. Attorneys discussing case strategy are overheard in adjacent spaces. HR conversations are audible from the hallway. Financial advisors cannot guarantee client confidentiality. Sound masking does not add noise. It generates a carefully engineered background sound spectrum that makes speech unintelligible at distance, protecting privacy while maintaining a comfortable acoustic environment.
Where Sound Masking Applies
Industries and environments with privacy requirements.
Legal Offices
Attorney-client privilege creates a legal obligation to protect confidential conversations. Sound masking installed in open areas, corridors, and conference room adjacencies ensures privileged discussions remain private.
Financial Services
Client financial data, portfolio discussions, and advisory conversations require confidentiality. Sound masking in advisory offices, open workspaces, and client meeting areas protects sensitive financial information.
Corporate Open Office
Open floor plans increase collaboration but also increase noise distractions. Sound masking reduces the radius of intelligible speech, allowing focused work without isolating employees in private offices.
What’s Included
Engineered acoustic privacy for your specific environment.
Acoustic Assessment
Evaluation of your space including ceiling type, wall construction, floor plan layout, and ambient noise levels. Zone mapping identifies where masking is needed and at what levels.
Zoned Installation
Independent zone control allows different masking levels in different areas. Open workspaces, corridors, conference room perimeters, and executive offices each require different treatment.
Calibration and Tuning
Post-installation calibration ensures the masking spectrum is properly tuned for your specific ceiling type and room characteristics. The system is adjusted until speech privacy targets are met in every zone.
