Create background noise (also referred to as “white noise”) by purchasing sound masking to be installed above ceiling tiles for any space. Sound masking helps absorb “chatter” and other noise distractions.

Need a few good reasons to plan your acoustics carefully?

1. Open plan offices are the norm. Every employee working in them would appreciate — and benefit from — having speech privacy.
2. In today’s market, we commonly have less space, this results in less speech privacy. The drive to reduce real estate costs often results in less square footage per employee and increased numbers of people in one space.
3. It’s noisy out there. Noise is the number-one problem in today’s workspaces, according to numerous independent studies.
4. On average, people spend one fourth of their workday in noise-generating activities. One person in a standard open plan setting can distract as many as eight people — even more in a call center environment.
