Concerned
about speech privacy?
Client confidentiality an issue?
Sound-masking
(noise-masking) is used to increase speech privacy and to minimise
distractions from other sounds. This active electronic solution can
be applied to many environments where there are concerns about eavesdropping,
client or patient confidentiality, or wherever personal details or
issues are discussed.
Where
can it be used?
Sound-masking
systems is more widely used in 'open plan' offices or where
sound isolation
between adjacent rooms is insufficient.
However, soundmasking is an effective way to improve your customer's
overall experience by creating
an environment where background sound effectively 'masks' other conversation
- providing a degree of comfort for your clients where they seek
it most: waiting areas, reception desks, interview rooms and adjacent
corridors. 
Client
or patient confidentiality is becoming more of an issue where responsible
handling of personal details forms an
essential part of a Data Protection policy. Doctor's waiting rooms,
banking halls and building society branches, credit & finance
offices, solicitors offices are just some of the places where sound
masking
can provide the desired level of speech privacy. We can also ensure
that suitable integration of hearing aid loop systems is achieved.
Sound-masking
systems or active acoustics, are also used in preventing eavesdropping
where confidentiality is important and can be integrated with acoustic
insulation and other
security measures. Protecting commercial secrets with effective
'noise masking' necessitates acoustic design combined with suitable
application
of active sound masking. 'Secret rooms' are needed within military,
aerospace, government establishments and the security services.
Correctly
installed, occupants are usually unaware of the masking sound, which
is a gentle sound
like air flowing through a vent.
We
have the necessary expertise and also the experience in
providing sound masking in large open-plan spaces, high-profile
executive
offices,
small
meeting
rooms, reception
areas and retail environments.
