Does this sound like your office?

No matter what kind of workplace you have, from corporate offices to counseling rooms, call centers, medical offices, legal conference rooms, and more, one thing is consistent — sound carries and distraction and a loss of privacy are inevitable byproducts. That loss of privacy and high potential for distraction is not only risky, it can have devastating effects on your business’s bottom line. In fact, studies show these distractions can reduce productivity in offices by as much as 66%, potentially costing you thousands of dollars per month.

Sound Masking to the Rescue

Sound masking is a simple solution to this problem, using technology that’s virtually unnoticeable to your staff to ensure that your company’s privacy, security, and productivity are never compromised. This elegant solution means that whatever your business’s unique needs are, a noisy, distracting office will never be your issue.

FOCUS improves by 48%

DISTRACTIONS decrease by 51%

ERROR RATES decrease by 10%

STRESS decreases by up to 27%

The Science of Sound Masking

Our ears are highly sophisticated tools designed to gather all kinds of information - from speech to location, size, and more, our sense of hearing is one of our main tools for engaging the space we’re in. Sound masking helps optimize your work environment so that your staff’s sense of hearing becomes an asset, instead of a liability.

A Simple Solution

We install small speakers in your office’s ceiling that emit a low-level background noise that’s no more noticeable than a fan or air conditioning unit. This noise “fills” your office with sound frequencies that despite being nearly undetectable, reduce the intelligibility of speech from anyone not in your immediate vicinity. Our ears naturally tune out things that we can’t hear clearly and this leads to less distraction, better privacy, and an increased ability to focus on the tasks at hand.

A Customized Application

Depending on your specific needs, we employ different tactics when designing a custom sound masking solution for you. If you’re looking to boost productivity, we will install speakers uniformly throughout your office to neutralize speech at a distance and other ambient noises. If you need to ensure privacy, we strategically place speakers outside of private offices and conference rooms to ensure that confidential conversations are kept private.

The Best of Both Worlds

Most applications employ a combination of these ideas and when properly installed, offer…

• Sounds as unnoticeable as gentle airflow

• Coverage for speech and private information

• Decreases in distractions and sterile feeling office environments

• Compatibility with music and paging systems
