Sound Masking

Speech privacy is important in many working environments for allowing confidential discussions to take place at a normal tone of voice without fear of being understood by those around you.

This is achieved by introducing a Sound Masking System into the space to cover the conversations and office noises happening around you.

What is Sound Masking

Sound Masking is the addition of a covering sound into an environment to ‘mask’ unwanted and distracting noises.

There are three main tenets to overcoming a noise problem in a space which we refer to as ABC

Absorption – Can be achieved with high quality floor coverings, ceiling tiles and acoustic panels
Blocking – Cubicle partitions and the walls of office partitions are the most common methods of blocking sound you will find in a space
Cover – You could fire up a petrol lawn-mower engine to mask external noises, but the Lencore Spectra system offers a more ambient level of acoustic comfort to cover distracting background noises that haven’t been absorbed and couldn’t be blocked.
