Sound Masking resolves interfering ambient noise in Whirlpool office
Nowadays, a lot of workplaces are situated in open spaces, also called bullpens. These are generally divided in small (seating) areas. In these spaces there’s often a stream of sound present, affecting the productivity, stress level and privacy of the employees. Whirlpool recently moved to a new office in Breda (Netherlands). The spaces consists of four open wings, in which numerous barriers have been created. Due to this openness, there’s more ambient noise in the new environment. To rightly correct this increase in ambient noise, Whirlpool, consulting MVIE, chose Cambridge Sound Masking. For this project, Qt 300 controllers of Cambridge are used, in combination with the passive Qt emitters.
The Sound Masking systems of Cambridge
A Sound Masking system is specifically developed for workplaces where confidential and private conversations are held. Sound Masking targets only human speech frequencies and improves the overall acoustic environment. A subtle background noise is added to the environment and mutes ambient noise. Because of this, speech intelligibility improves and the privacy of employees and/or visitors is secured. The result: a comfortable, productive and pleasant working environment. The unobtrusive, flat, white grilles of the emitters ensure that the space maintains its sleek, neat appearance. The active Sound Masking systems also offer paging and background music opportunities to make it possible for organisations to set up one affordable system.
