Soundmasking Reduces The Radius of
Speech Distraction
Managing the distraction of nearby conversations in
open plans is the primary acoustical issue in the
workplace for facility managers. By incorporating
the right amounts of the A,B,Cs (Absorb, Block, and
Cover Up) of soundmasking, the ability to
concentrate can be greatly improved by reducing
the amount of background speech distraction.

conversational distraction was reduced to
acceptable levels

- Financial models document a 300% to 500% return
on investment
- An overall perception of a quieter work environment
When a soundmasking solution, by Dynasound, is
implemented into an open plan office environment,
it has the same effect, acoustically as actually
tripling the distance between employees – without
the expense of actually making workstations three
times larger.
