Sound Masking

Overview

Sound Masking from a local Erie team

Open offices and cubicles can hurt productivity and put private conversations at risk. Sound masking adds a soft, inconspicuous background sound through ceiling speakers, so noise is less distracting and nearby conversations become unintelligible.

Why offices overhear everything

Office background noise is usually low, so people unintentionally overhear each other. A sound masking system makes the ambient sound level more uniform and muffles distractions.

Not white noise

Sound masking is different from white noise. It’s tuned to the frequencies of human speech, so it is comfortable to work in. ETG can show you exactly how it works and put you in touch with customers who use it.
