Sound Masking and Noise Management Products By Lencore

One size does not fit all when it comes to effectively managing noise problems, and that’s why Lencore offers a wide range of simple set-it and forget-it fully customizable noise management solutions.

You may love your noise canceling headphones when you’re on a plane and wish to shut out the world around you, but the way to achieve focus and productivity in your professional environment requires a different set of noise reduction techniques.  That’s where Lencore’s state of the art Sound Masking comes in.  Our scientifically formulated Green Sound™ employs a unique noise reduction algorithm and is calibrated to ambient speech frequencies at a level that makes intentional conversations in close proximity clear, while reducing noise from background distractions through advanced sound masking. This approach offers an effective noise control measure.  You can achieve this uniform sense of focus anywhere your work requires, from a single room home office to a multi-floor high rise.

When speech privacy and controlling noise is your chief concern, Lencore’s solutions are ready to win your confidence so your conversations remain confidential. 

Government organizations, top-tier hospitals, and financial institutions all around the world depend on Lencore’s technology to keep information safe and secure, and clients and patients comfortable and providing 5-star reviews.

We have noise management solutions to fit environments of every size and budget.

Sound masking works very well and is based on the simple premise that louder sounds cover (mask) quieter sounds. The way in which this is achieved and its level of effectiveness can vary greatly depending on the selected solution. Lencore provides the most effective and comfortable sound masking solution available with our scientifically formulated Green Sound.

The sound masking method is one of the most effective noise reduction techniques based on the concept that louder sounds cover (mask) quieter sounds and controls the sound level. Sound masking (add link https://www.lencore.com/what-is-sound-masking/) works by introducing a blend of sonic frequencies (white, pink, and brown noise) into the environment at a level just above indirect speech and is proven to make environments more private and less distracting by effectively removing background noise.

The proper level of sound masking varies based on a given environment. Ideally, sound masking should be tuned at a level just above indirect speech, which in most environments ranges from 42-45dB, meaning the masking level should be set at 46-48dB measured at 4 feet from the floor (average seated listener position).

Sound masking is the addition of an unobtrusive background sound, like airflow, or waves on a beach. This reduces the intelligibility of human speech and reduces distractions. Sound Masking is specifically engineered to cover up the frequency of human speech and make conversations less distracting. By controlling the acoustics of a space, you control both productivity and comfort.
The goal of sound masking is to introduce the addition of an unobtrusive background sound, like airflow, or waves on a beach. Sound masking will significantly reduce the intelligibility of human speech and reduces distractions. If implemented properly, sound masking should also provide comfort, improving overall concentration and boosting productivity.
A system rarely needs to be adjusted.  However, Lencore’s system can auto-adjust based on a programmable timer in our software. More importantly, the systems that utilize microphones to “listen” for background noise pose a security risk from eavesdropping.
Yes, sound masking, when properly designed, dynamically improves comfort and collaboration in the workspace by gently raising the ambient background sound uniformly with a clean, consistently random, broadband, non-intrusive sound. The scientifically engineered sound is amplified through individual speakers installed above or in the ceiling throughout the space to create a uniform field of sound that ensures temporal and spatial uniformity.

Many hospitals today are incorporating sound masking technology to help control noise levels in their environments. When properly designed, sound masking not only enhances privacy and security but also creates a more comfortable and productive environment for patients and healthcare professionals alike. Studies have shown that sound masking can lead to a 38% reduction in patient stress levels (source: The New England Journal of Medicine).

Scientifically engineered sound is amplified through individual speakers installed above or in the ceiling throughout the space to create a uniform field of sound that ensures temporal and spatial uniformity. The sound masking system “fills” the plenum and filters down into the space below, without phasing, to gently raise the background sound level. As a result, noise from overheard speech becomes less intelligible.
Sound masking’s purpose is to cover the speech as a component to sound proofing so speech is private.  Sound proofing for speech privacy may have several diverse components–absorptive materials like insulation or blocking materials like sealants. Sound proofing is held to a higher expectation and measurement (think waterproof vs water resistant).
