Sound Masking

Sound masking is a technique used to improve the acoustic environment in spaces by adding background noise, typically a low-level, consistent sound similar to white noise. This added sound helps to cover or "mask" disruptive noises, such as conversations or equipment noise, making them less noticeable. In architectural acoustics, sound masking can enhance privacy and comfort in offices, hospitals, and public spaces, allowing people to focus better and reducing distractions. The goal is to create a more pleasant auditory environment that supports communication and productivity.
