What is Speech Privacy?

Speech privacy refers to the ability of an unintended listener to understand another person’s conversation.

When speech is hard to understand or unintelligible – workers tend to not even notice it – it simply fades into the background. When speech is easy to understand or intelligible – it becomes very distracting. Overhearing conversations interferes with your internal monologue and makes it very difficult to concentrate.

What is Sound Masking?

Sound masking is a key tool to help solve the speech privacy problem through the process of adding a low level, unobtrusive background sound to an environment thereby reducing the intelligibility of human speech and minimizing noise distractions in that environment.
