What Is a Sound Masking System?

In short, a sound masking system is a specialized audio system designed to produce low sound (different from white noise) in a specific environment—in this case, your commercial office—to mask unwanted sounds and reduce surrounding noises. 

The system typically consists of a sound generator or software that produces the desired sound, speakers, and other audio output devices that the PCD team will place strategically throughout your space. The purpose of the generator is to mask or cover up unwanted sounds in the environment, from conversations to ringing phones.

We can customize your sound to suit the needs of your office environment, including volume and frequency adjustments to reach your desired level of masking. With proper installation and calibration, sound masking creates a more comfortable and productive work environment.

The Benefits of Sound Masking 

By now, you know that sound masking fuels productivity, but let's take a closer look at the advantages. 

Reduced Noise

We can't stress enough how sound masking systems can help your commercial space reduce the distractions of continuous noise. Regardless of the environment, masking sound works for every industry, from education to healthcare. Not only will the comfort of your employees be improved, but so will that of students, clients, and patients!

Speech Privacy

Confidentiality is crucial in many settings, especially when involving medical or legal information. When you utilize sound masking to cut down on the intelligibility of sounds and conversations that carry in a quiet setting, it instantly becomes more difficult for others to overhear sensitive data discussions. 

Comfort

Consistent, low-level sound is quite soothing in any environment, and everyone who steps foot in your commercial space will thank you. Employees will appreciate the lack of workday interruptions, decreasing their stress and anxiety and enjoying a productive space to check things off their to-do lists, even in offices with an open floor plan. Win for them, win for you!

Flexibility

Your new sound masking system will be highly customizable, and we'll tailor it to your needs and space. Set it to respond to certain events, turn it on or off at specific times, and produce the level of masking you need whenever you need it! We'll show you the ins and outs of the programming process and happily troubleshoot any current or future issues.
