Sound Masking

Sound Masking

Most businesses, regardless of industry, have an abundance of sounds and noises that can be very distracting for employees and customers.  Whether it is due to industrial production or simply the varied sounds of a normal office, constant noise can be very distracting and can both reduce productivity or deter customers from staying and making purchases.  But, nobody wants to be able to hear a pin drop either because a total lack of sound can be equally distracting and reduces privacy during conversations.  The optimal solution for creating the most productive and enjoyable business atmosphere is sound masking.

Similar to the use of white noise while sleeping, sound masking works by adding gentle ambient sound to a space.  Sound masking reduces the noticeability of sharp or random noises and allows for more privacy during conversations by obscuring those noises with a continuous stream of ambient sound that is similar to the sound of airflow. It may seem counterintuitive to add noise but the addition of soft ambient noise can actually make your building seem quieter. At Magnum Opus Digital Entertainment, we can design and install a high-quality commercial audio system and program sound masking to play so that distractions are reduced for improved productivity and privacy.
