When organizations think about productivity, they often focus on technology, workflow, and workplace culture. Yet one of the most influential—and overlooked—factors is the acoustic environment. Noise distractions are consistently ranked among the top workplace complaints, impacting concentration, employee satisfaction, and overall performance. That’s why more organizations are turning to sound masking as a foundational layer of workplace design.

But knowing you need sound masking is one thing. Knowing where to start is another.

If you’re curious how to get your sound masking project off the ground, you’re not alone. Many facility managers, architects, and integrators face the same questions:

What system do we need? How much will it cost? How long will it take? Will it integrate with the rest of our space?

The good news is that Biamp makes the process simple with Biamp Sound Masking Design Services—a complete support resource that helps guide your project from idea to installation with confidence.

Why sound masking matters

Open offices, glass-walled conference rooms, quiet neighborhoods in hybrid workplaces—today’s spaces are appealing, flexible, and focused on collaboration; but often acoustically unforgiving. Conversations carry. Sensitive discussions can be overheard. Employees lose valuable focus time to unpredictable noise.

Sound masking solves these challenges by introducing a gentle, engineered background sound that reduces speech intelligibility and creates a more comfortable, private acoustic environment. And with Cambridge solutions from Biamp, sound masking can be combined with paging and background music for a complete solution that improves the employee experience.

Taking the guesswork out of sound masking

Every building is unique. Room sizes, ceiling materials, mechanical noise, and occupancy patterns all influence how a sound masking system should be designed. That’s why Biamp Sound Masking Design Services are built to support projects of all sizes and complexities.
