Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sound masking and how does it work?
Sound masking distributes a gentle, engineered ambient sound that matches the frequencies of human speech. It doesn't cancel sound, but raises the ambient noise floor so conversations beyond 15 feet become unintelligible.
Does sound masking meet HIPAA physical privacy requirements?
Yes. Sound masking is recognized by healthcare compliance authorities as an effective safeguard to prevent oral privacy disclosures in medical offices and pharmacies.
