Overhead Music and Messaging

Because every space has unique acoustic challenges, we provide free custom consultations to understand all factors contributing to noise, privacy, and distraction concerns. Our talented team of sound masking specialists is trained to help address the areas most affected by internal and external noise for a truly effective system. Using a combination of thoughtfully targeted speaker placement and carefully calculated decibel levels, our team deploys sound masking to create a more private, productive, and distraction-free environment.

In a recent study, researchers found that on average employees wasted 21.5 minutes per day due to conversational distractions—that’s roughly 4% of an average employee’s workday. A company with 100 employees and an average employee salary cost of $50,000 could be losing $200,000 a year in lost productivity. Spectrio's music choices can help employees remain focused and entertained throughout the day.

Lack of speech privacy is the number one driver of worker dissatisfaction according to a recent survey of 25,000 office workers from over 2,000 buildings. Even employees with private offices only rated their satisfaction with office acoustics a .55 out of 3. Our overhead music solutions can help combat this problem, ensuring that employees have the privacy they desire.

Closing the door to an office or conference room does not guarantee speech privacy, rather, it only creates the illusion of privacy. Implementing sound masking creates a more secure environment for discussing sensitive information.

Our system works by introducing a low-level, unobtrusive background sound into your space or environment. The sound is tuned to the frequency and amplitude of human speech, ultimately rendering speech unintelligible while simultaneously reducing noise distractions. Sound masking is hardly noticeable; in fact, most people describe the sound as being similar to airflow. The sound is introduced through emitters installed throughout the space, creating a blanket of sound. Sound masking typically reduces the area noise distraction by between 15 and 50 feet.
