OFFICE SOUND MASKING
Distractions aren't always surfing the web or daydreaming about your next vacation. In fact, at work, one of the main culprits is conversational distraction. While you can't ban your employee's from talking to one another in the office, what you can do is reduce the effect or eliminate awareness of conversational and noise-related distractions by using sound masking. Sound masking is the use of natural or artificial sound such as white noise to cover other noises.
NOI utilizes sound masking solutions in a variety of workspaces. Open office plans that are too quiet or too noisy, as well as private offices or corporate board rooms in need of additional assurance that confidential conversations are kept confidential. Public spaces can also benefit from sound masking. Reception areas, pharmacies, waiting rooms and financial institutions most often utilize sound masking in public areas to ensure conversations are rendered unintelligible by nearby listeners.
Adding noise to cover noise may seem counter-intuitive, but white noise combines sounds from the entire spectrum so that the brain can tune out less consistent, more distracting noises. Sound masking can create a more comfortable work environment while creating speech privacy so workers can better concentrate and be more productive.
