| What is sound masking? | ||||
|
|
Sound masking is a soft ambient sound introduced into a room, that sounds like air-conditioning. Within this sound, we tune in the multiple frequencies that contour human speech. The end result is a soft sound that masks human speech, and other related offices noises. Typical office noise ranges from human speech and conversations, to phones ringing, keyboards clicking, fax machines, filing cabinets doors slamming, people walking, computer sounds, car/truck traffic outside the window, elevators dinging, and many more. These noises cause distractions that lower employee productivity, raise data entry errors, increase employee stress, mental fatigue, and sometime lead to turn over, especially in call centers. (see case study). |
