Utah Office Sound Masking Systems

Increase Privacy and Productivity & Reduce Distractions

Why Is A Sound Masking System Needed?

Sound masking is needed in an office to address the challenges posed by noise and distractions, especially in open-plan or shared workspaces. Modern offices often have fewer walls and barriers, which can lead to sound carrying further than intended causing disruptions to employee focus and productivity, making it hard for employees to concentrate on their tasks.

Sound masking helps cover up these distracting noises, making them less noticeable.

This results in a quieter, more controlled sound environment that enhances both concentration and comfort for employees. It also improves speech privacy, ensuring that conversations are harder to overhear.

How Does Utah Sound Masking Work?

Block, Absorb or Cover are three ways that can improve your acoustic environment and achieve the necessary privacy. Sound waves can be blocked by using high-STC-rated panels, partitions, windows, and walls. Sound can be absorbed by using a high-NRC-rated ceiling tile or acoustic wall panels. Sound can be covered by using a source of unstructured–NOT music which is structured and therefore distracting–low-level background sound, known as Sound Masking or white noise.

Most offices have multiple distinct sound signatures (Such as a call center vs. reception area) unlike the competition, our sound masking levels can be customized to areas as small as 225 sq. ft. Most other systems mask in half- or full-floor zones. Because Spectra systems can be so finely tuned, you can be confident in uniform, comfortable speech privacy.

Benefits of Office Sound Masking

Increased Privacy: Sound masking makes conversations less intelligible to others, enhancing speech privacy and reducing the risk of confidential information being overheard.
Reduced Distractions: By covering up distracting noises, like conversations or phone calls, sound masking helps employees focus better, leading to increased productivity.
Improved Acoustic Comfort: It creates a more pleasant sound environment by balancing the overall noise levels, which can make the space feel more comfortable.
Enhanced Concentration: With fewer distractions, employees can concentrate better on their tasks, which can improve the quality of work and reduce errors.
Lower Stress Levels: A quieter and more controlled sound environment can reduce the stress associated with noisy office spaces, leading to a more relaxed work atmosphere.
Flexible Office Design: Sound masking allows for more open or collaborative spaces without sacrificing privacy or acoustic comfort, supporting modern office layouts.

These benefits contribute to a more productive, comfortable, and efficient workplace.
