Sound Masking

Sound masking systems help control noise levels in offices, restaurants, classrooms and healthcare facilities by introducing a background sound that reduces the impact of environmental noise. 

Specially engineered to match the frequency of human speech, sound masking will reduce the distance at which human speech can be heard and understood, making conversations less intrusive and creating a more balanced, acoustically comfortable space.

Sound masking introduces a subtle, ambient background sound, similar to gentle airflow, that blends seamlessly into the environment.

By doing so, it minimises the intelligibility of speech, making conversations less intrusive and creating a more balanced, acoustically comfortable space.

We have partnered with Soft dB, a leader in sound masking, to deliver and install patented sound masking systems.

Soft dB are the only sound masking systems that include real-time adjustments, ensuring your office remains acoustically optimised at all times.

Soft dB’s app allows system administrators to adjust masking volume and music levels within designated office zones. Assign control to specific users or manage the entire system centrally.

FAQs & tips for sound masking

Yes — but it’s designed to blend into the background. Sound masking produces a low-level, unobtrusive noise similar to airflow. It reduces speech intelligibility, making conversations fade into the background. Most people don’t consciously notice it after a few minutes.

Unlike white noise machines of the past, modern systems are carefully tuned to the frequencies of human speech, making them effective and comfortable.

No. Most emitters are small and installed above the ceiling tiles or discreetly mounted. Once installed, the system is virtually invisible, blending seamlessly into the workspace.

Yes. Most modern systems come with smartphone or wall-mounted controls. You can adjust volume, zone settings, and even integrate with paging or music systems. Our installations use leading brands like Cambridge and Soft dB, which offer flexible, user-friendly controls.

We don’t recommend it. Professional design and tuning are critical to ensure the system is effective and comfortable. DIY systems often lack the ability to calibrate properly, which can make the masking either too loud or ineffective. Resonics provides full design, installation, and tuning to industry standards.

Not exactly. White noise is a random signal containing all frequencies equally, which can sound harsh. Sound masking uses a tuned, engineered spectrum that targets the frequencies of human speech. This makes it effective at reducing distractions while remaining comfortable to listen to all day.
