Sound Masking Solutions Tailored For the Corporate Work Environment
Modern sound masking for corporate environments with Limitless AV. Providing essential focus and confidentiality in the workspace.
What is Sound Masking & Speech Privacy?
Sound masking is the technical term for audio systems that reduce the capacity to hear speech at a distance. By using the same frequencies as human speech, it makes distant conversations harder to hear and understand and allows for better privacy in an open office environment. Special equipment tunes into these frequencies and emits an ambient background sound to achieve this.
This dramatically eliminates the odds of distraction from sounds 15 feet or further away in the workplace. It substantially increases conversation privacy and does not disrupt communication within closer distances.
How Does Sound Masking Differ From White Noise?
White noise, akin to the static you might hear on AM radio, is not targeted for any particular frequency. In fact, it can be distracting in itself. Sound masking is very specifically targeted and only overlaps with human speech making it acoustically more comfortable in the workplace.

Sound Masking Systems
Direct Field Sound Masking
In this case, speakers are fitted from the ceiling and aim directly downwards into the workspace, known as a direct field position. This gives an even distribution of the audio frequency in the field of sound.
Indirect Sound Masking
Another option is to hide the speaker system above the ceiling void and aim the frequency upwards to reflect off the drop ceiling down into the workspace.
Where is Sound Masking Being Utilized For Maximum Impact?
Open Office Spaces
Open-plan workspaces are either too quiet or too loud. Too quiet and everyone can hear everything, which inevitably affects speech privacy. Too much noise results in inadequate focus, endless distraction, and a loss of productivity.
Private Offices
Private offices aren’t as private when thin walls that only extend to the ceiling tiles and not the ceiling deck are involved. Cue sound carriage that is less than ideal when conversations are meant to be discreet and private.
Common Areas
Clients, whether they be patients, customers, or corporate guests deserve to have privacy too. Waiting rooms, receptions, and customer service areas should be included in your speech privacy systems.
Benefits of Sound Masking Systems
Reduce Noise Distractions
Fade distant conversations so they no longer affect concentration or distract team attention. Discussion within 15 feet is clearer and attains more focus.
Protect Speech Privacy
Team members feel enabled to speak freely, confident that their conversations are not being monitored or overheard by colleagues or management in nearby workspaces.
Improve Workplace Acoustics
Aural disruption can impact employee productivity. A balanced acoustic atmosphere helps to dissolve the overwhelm of too much sound and instead creates a harmonious environment.
Reduce Office Construction Costs
Sound masking is a more affordable and flexible option when compared to soundproofing alternatives.
