Sound masking is the addition of sound created by special digital generators and distributed by normally unseen speakers through an area to reduce distractions or provide confidentiality where needed. Sound masking makes a building seem quieter by raising the ambient noise level of an environment and making speech noise less intelligible and therefore less distracting. When you can’t understand what someone is saying, their words are less distracting — in fact, you probably don’t even notice them.
Law firms, engineering firms, healthcare facilities, DoD buildings and other commercial businesses have contracted Glaze Communications to effectively install sound masking systems. This type of application has increased productivity, improved the audio atmosphere in targeted spaces and maintained meeting privacy.
