Sound masking for open-plan offices
Reduce the reach of distracting conversations and support speech privacy in shared workspaces.
Balance collaboration and focus
In a quiet open-plan office, distant speech can remain easy to understand. A controlled background sound helps reduce its intelligibility as it travels, while allowing nearby colleagues to talk naturally.
Design around your workplace
45dB reviews the floor plan, ceiling conditions, desk layout and acoustic brief. We coordinate speaker coverage and zones for different activities, with fixed or adaptive settings agreed for each area.
Sound masking works alongside sound absorption, layout and enclosed meeting spaces. The final spectrum and levels are calibrated to the workplace.

From plans to commissioning
We design, supply, install and calibrate systems throughout Australia. Send your floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, project location and acoustic brief so we can review a suitable approach.
