What is Sound Masking?
Sound masking is the technology we employ to ensure speech privacy in areas affected by distractions and discomfort. By introducing neutral background noise, we effectively diminish the impact of disruptive sounds, creating a more focused and comfortable environment.
What are the benefits of sound masking?
The benefits of sound masking are twofold: it enhances privacy and boosts productivity. When sound masking is in place, you might hear someone talking but won’t be able to understand the conversation, allowing both parties to enjoy speech privacy. This creates a more comfortable environment, minimizing distractions and helping everyone focus better on their work.
How does sound masking work?
How does sound masking work? It might seem counterintuitive to add noise to unwanted sounds, but the key lies in using non-repetitive, broadband white noise. This sound lacks a natural pattern and encompasses all frequencies, effectively filling in the auditory spectrum. As a result, individuals can tune out distractions.
In hospitals, this creates a more relaxed atmosphere for patients; in government and military settings, it ensures privacy for sensitive conversations; and in workplaces, it fosters a less stressful and more focused environment, enhancing employee engagement.

How the VoiceArrest system provides privacy & comfort
Our system generates a low-level background sound using speakers installed in the ceiling plenum, along with an adaptive sensor that monitors the area. Much like a smartphone, this smart sound masking system anticipates changes and adjusts automatically. The sensor detects disruptive noise and modifies the volume up or down based on the specific needs of the moment, ensuring both privacy and comfort in your workspace.
