Best Places Where to Use Sound Masking Systems


Sound masking systems are perfect indoors and outdoors.

Sound masking systems are perfect for use wherever distracting sound needs to be blocked. Most sound masking tools, a.k.a. white noise machines are used in offices and work areas today, to encourage employees to stay focused on the task at hand; however, you may also use white noise machines at home, especially when you want to rest.

There are three places where sound masking systems are often used…

Public or crowded areas—sound masking systems may be used in offices which are open to the public, but are not always too crowded. These include waiting areas, pharmacies, offices where conversations need not be heard, or areas where silence is required such as libraries, spa, or a beauty parlor.

Sound masking systems are often installed in areas where private conversations must not be heard, not necessarily in areas where the actual conversation is coming from.

Offices, work rooms and other private area—in an open-office setting, where work areas are in cubicles or separated only by thin partition-walls, sound masking is not only an important add-on to the acoustics plan of an office, but an indispensable requirement. If you want to keep noise from other offices or cubicles at a manageable level, this is where sound masking system comes in. Additionally, it is believed that sound masking machines may increase workplace productivity by 18% a month.

Open offices and other non-crowded areas—People respond differently to sound—other people may have sensitive ears while others may not be easily bothered by noise, no matter how loud it is. In an open area, one may be easily distracted by sound produced by little objects, even as light as a pin drop. If you respond too easily to such noise and get distracted by it, sound masking systems can help you eliminate this unwanted noise.
