Sound masking
Sound masking and acoustic treatment to reduce distraction and protect speech privacy in shared environments.
INSTANT CALMER.
Acoustic comfort is one of the most common workplace complaints, yet it is frequently overlooked in AV and fit-out projects. In open-plan environments, intelligible speech from nearby conversations is the primary source of distraction. In settings where confidentiality matters (HR offices, legal consultation rooms, government buildings), it becomes a compliance concern.
Hear less, do more.
RTS designs and installs sound masking systems that introduce a controlled, unobtrusive background sound to reduce speech intelligibility, improving concentration in open areas and protecting privacy in sensitive spaces. Systems are zoned to match layout and usage, and can be tuned as occupancy patterns change.
We also advise on broader acoustic treatment where reverberation or noise transfer is affecting AV performance or comfort.
Common applications
These are just some of the most common uses. Don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your requirements.
- Sound masking for open-plan offices, reducing speech distraction across the floor plate
- Speech privacy for HR, legal and government environments where confidential conversations must not carry
- Zoned systems tunable to different areas of the building as usage evolves
- Acoustic assessments as part of wider AV room design or workplace fit-out projects
- Integration with meeting room AV design to ensure acoustics support audio and video quality
