Sound Masking (CSI Division 27 00 00)

The Ambient Sound for Your Workplace

Open office floor plans are increasingly popular for businesses, but they can create a noisy, distracting work environment. The average worker loses more than two hours each day to distractions and interruptions. These workers are more stressed and more prone to making mistakes. However, sound masking may be just the solution you are looking for.

What Is Sound Masking?

Sound masking is a specifically tuned ambient background sound that targets the same frequency as human speech, reducing its intelligibility.

By adding sound masking to a workplace, conversations are notably less intelligible or noticeable, and thus less distracting. The workplace becomes more comfortable, private, and productive.

Site Surveys

Site surveys isolate numerous variables that you may not be aware of and help minimize surprises during installation. Accurate site surveys can help you determine the feasibility of an installation, budgetary constraints, and whether specialty tools or supplies are required.

System Design

Our system design services include a complete industry standards-based scope of work, detailed “T” series design drawings, and a project implementation plan to ensure a firm fixed project price minimizing change orders.

Installation

Our sound masking installation technicians can install, maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade any size business. From a single sound emitter to 1,000 sound emitters, our trained technicians are ready to go to work for you.

System Tuning

Your sound masking controller is the foundation for the entire system operation, and tuning this system is our specialty. These systems must be tuned to the acoustic environment they are installed in, by not only a sound level meter but with internal system acoustic settings.

System Documentation

Upon project completion, SIG can provide our customers with an electronic or printed copy of as-built drawings showing emitter locations as well as controller MER and TR locations.
